Literature review on the stress tests developed and applied in non-food supply chains
This report presents the results of a literature review on stress tests developed and applied in non-food supply chains. The primary focus of the project is on quantitative and qualitative methodologies applied in the literature for stress testing non-food supply chains, their advantages and disadvantages, data used, and identification of stress test typologies applied in different methodologies. We also identify methodological gaps in the literature, especially those related to real-world applications of stress testing. The focus of the literature review is on identifying generalisations, categorizations, and patterns rather than on the specific description of individual papers. We analyze the progress of stress testing methodologies and their applications using 61 papers identified through a SCOPUS search performed in May 2024. We identify objectives of stress tests, disruptions/shocks used in stress tests, different methodological approaches used for stress tests, design and typologies of disruption scenarios used for stress tests, data used for stress tests, and indicators used to analyse impacts/responses to different stress factors. Likewise, we analyse managerial recommendations resulting from stress tests and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of different methodologies developed and applied for stress tests.
