Global supply chain risks have become a major concern for retailers due to increasing globalization, interdependence among markets, and reliance on complex logistics networks. Retailers today source products from multiple countries, depend on international transportation routes, and operate within volatile economic and political environments. As a result, disruptions such as natural disasters, geopolitical conflicts, pandemics, trade wars, port congestion, or shipping lane blockages can significantly affect product availability, costs, and customer satisfaction. These risks directly influence retail operations by causing inventory shortages, delayed deliveries, increased procurement costs, and reduced consumer trust. For instance, disruptions in key shipping routes like the Suez Canal or conflicts affecting major manufacturing hubs can halt product movement, leading to stockouts and lost sales. Similarly, trade wars and tariffs increase procurement costs, forcing retailers to adjust pricing strategies or absorb losses, which impacts profitability. The impact of global supply chain risks also extends to demand uncertainty and operational inefficiencies. Retailers operate on tight margins and depend heavily on accurate forecasting and timely replenishment. When supply disruptions occur, forecasting models fail, safety stock levels become insufficient, and retailers may resort to emergency sourcing at higher costs. Furthermore, reputational risks arise when retailers fail to meet customer expectations due to delayed or unavailable products. In the age of e-commerce and omnichannel retailing, customers expect consistent product availability, making supply chain disruptions even more damaging to brand loyalty. Therefore, retailers must adopt proactive strategies to build resilient supply chains capable of withstanding and recovering quickly from disruptions. A resilient supply chain is one that has the capacity to anticipate, respond to, and recover from unexpected
