Supply chain disruption caused by environmental uncertainty makes it more difficult for firms to obtain sustainable competitive advantages (SCA). Based on the perspective of dynamic capability, this study explored the effect of three dimensions of supply chain resilience (SCR) (proactive capabilities, reactive capabilities and supply chain design quality) on SCA. In addition, we further adopted operational vulnerability (OV) as a mediated variable to construct a conceptual framework and propose research hypotheses. The theoretical hypotheses were empirically developed based on a survey of 305 firms in China's manufacturing industry and subsequently tested. Our findings indicate that taking proactive action, properly configuring supply chain systems, and developing rapid reaction capabilities to recover from disruptions provide companies an opportunity to improve and to obtain SCA. Finally, the paper offers managers a management framework and dynamic strategy with which to develop SCR and alleviate the negative impact of OV, thus contributing to a firm's SCA.
由于环境不确定性导致的供应链中断，使得企业更难获得可持续的竞争优势（SCA）。基于动态能力的视角，本研究探讨了供应链弹性的三个维度（主动能力、反应能力和供应链设计质量）对 SCA 的影响。此外，我们进一步采用运营脆弱性（OV）作为中介变量，构建了一个概念框架并提出了研究假设。基于中国制造业 305 家企业的调查，对理论假设进行了实证检验。研究结果表明，采取主动行动、合理配置供应链系统以及开发快速反应能力以从中断中恢复，为企业提供了提高和获得 SCA 的机会。最后，本文为管理者提供了一个管理框架和动态策略，以发展 SCR 并减轻 OV 的负面影响，从而有助于企业获得 SCA。
