Abstract In the 1980s and 1990s, globalisation established international supply chains to maximise production and economic efficiency. However, recent years have fundamentally changed how global trade and supply chains operate. Large-scale global events, geopolitical trade tensions, technological advances, changing demographics, rising interest rates, and inflation have all contributed to this shift. Consequently, companies must rethink and transform their supply chains to remain competitive in light of these developments. This paper seeks to identify the critical factors and drivers of supply chain disruptions and link them to Lean principles, known for their adaptability, to create a new and resilient supply chain. The paper presents relevant theories and concepts through a theoretical framework by analysing previous research on Lean principles in supply chain management. Building a new and resilient supply chain based on Lean principles has the potential to significantly adapt and enhance existing supply chains, thereby enabling companies to strengthen their competitiveness.
