Abstract

While prior research has recognized the significance of smart manufacturing for supply chain management, recent studies have also raised concerns about its potential downsides. Building on the organizational learning perspective, we examine whether smart manufacturing facilitates or impedes supply chain resilience. Using a two-wave primary survey and a secondary dataset of 234 Chinese manufacturing firms, we find that smart manufacturing has an inverted U-shaped impact on supply chain resilience. The positive linear effect is more pronounced in the presence of high market disruption and for state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Meanwhile, the negative quadratic effect is intensified by high market disruption but weakens in SOEs. By revealing this non-linear relationship, our study helps explain both the benefits and limitations of the role of smart manufacturing, and carries significant implications for enhancing supply chain resilience.
