o:37168 BUILDING A RESILIENT SUPPLY CHAIN IN THE FACE OF GLOBAL UNCERTAINTIES BASED ON LEAN PRINCIPLES en Abstract In the 1980s and 1990s, globalisation established international supply chains to maximise production and economic efficiency. However, recent years have fundamentally changed how global trade and supply chains operate. Large-scale global events, geopolitical trade tensions, technological advances, changing demographics, rising interest rates, and inflation have all contributed to this shift. Consequently, companies must rethink and transform their supply chains to remain competitive in light of these developments. This paper seeks to identify the critical factors and drivers of supply chain disruptions and link them to Lean principles, known for their adaptability, to create a new and resilient supply chain. The paper presents relevant theories and concepts through a theoretical framework by analysing previous research on Lean principles in supply chain management. Building a new and resilient supply chain based on Lean principles has the potential to significantly adapt and enhance existing supply chains, thereby enabling companies to strengthen their competitiveness. Key words: lean, supply chain, disruption, global uncertainties 1552100 978-953-346-228-8 2025-12-01T11:34:01.036Z 44 no 46 Stefan Koprivica Slobodan Aćimović Univerzitet u Beogradu Ekonomski fakultet person 0000-0003-3112-3268 Veljko Mijušković Univerzitet u Beogradu Ekonomski fakultet person 0000-0002-0668-8614 application/pdf 843488 https://phaidrabg.bg.ac.rs/o:37168 no yes 1 70 92000004 11A03 TRADE PERSPECTIVES 2024 Emerging trends and concepts in achieving sustainable trade and retail 10 20 Zagreb : Ekonomski fakultet Zagreb Sveučilišta u Zagrebu : Hrvatska gospodarska komora 2025
