Abstract

The increasing complexity of global supply chains, combined with mounting economic, environmental, and social sustainability challenges, has highlighted the importance of robust approaches for Sustainable Supply Chain Risk Assessment (SSCRA). Among established risk assessment techniques, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) has gained considerable attention due to its proactive and structured capability to identify, evaluate, and prioritize potential risks. However, existing FMEA-based research in sustainable supply chain contexts remains dispersed, with limited integration of the triple bottom line sustainability perspective and insufficient empirical evidence from emerging economies.

This study addresses these gaps through a two-stage research framework integrating a systematic literature review and an industrial case study. First, a systematic review of publications from 2010 to 2026 is conducted to examine the evolution of FMEA-based SSCRA research, identify prevailing research themes, methodological developments, and unresolved challenges. The findings reveal that existing studies predominantly emphasize economic and operational risk dimensions, whereas environmental and social sustainability risks remain comparatively underrepresented. Moreover, the application of FMEA-based approaches within developing-country supply chains requires further investigation.

To extend the existing body of knowledge, an empirical case study was conducted in a medium-sized Egyptian manufacturing firm operating in the electrical control panel industry. Data were collected through structured expert assessments involving eight senior managers from key supply chain functions, including procurement, production, logistics, and quality management. A total of 30 supply chain failure modes were identified and evaluated using the conventional FMEA dimensions of Severity, Occurrence, and Detection. Subsequently, Risk Priority Numbers (RPNs) were calculated to rank and prioritize critical supply chain risks.

The results demonstrate that supply chain vulnerability is highly concentrated among a limited number of failure modes. The most significant risks were identified as supplier delivery delays (RPN = 504), raw material shortages (RPN = 448), currency fluctuations affecting imported materials (RPN = 324), and demand forecasting errors (RPN = 294). These risks primarily reflect supply uncertainty, import dependency, and coordination deficiencies across supply chain functions.

This study contributes to the sustainable supply chain risk management literature by providing a comprehensive synthesis of FMEA-based SSCRA research and extending empirical evidence from an emerging manufacturing economy. The findings offer valuable insights for practitioners and policymakers seeking to enhance supply chain resilience and sustainability through systematic risk identification, prioritization, and mitigation.
