Enhancing performance through sustainable, agile, and resilient mining supply chain: A comprehensive analysis and insights
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The mining industry is crucial for agriculture and consumer goods but faces challenges like fluctuating demand, price volatility, and environmental concerns. Increasing resource consumption, particularly water and energy, requires careful management amid water scarcity and climate change. Sustainability, agility, and resilience (SAR) in the supply chain are vital for optimizing operations, reducing environmental impact, and mitigating risks. However, a lack in the literature of standardized, practical measures to traduce and enhance SAR hinders their advancement. This paper addresses this gap by organizing SAR strategies and KPIs from existing research, offering actionable measures. It provides an overview of SAR in mining and examines a case study of a Moroccan mining company, evaluating the integration of these concepts in mine exploitation and rehabilitation.
