Summary:The existing literature provides multiple Supply Chain Resilience (SCRES) frameworks derived from studying individual natural disasters or a single supply chain (SC). These frameworks disagree in relation to the content, scope, theoretical approach and nature of the resilience phenomena. We utilise Structural Contingency Theory (SCT) to build on previously employed lenses and separate SCRES as a process from SCRES as a capability. While doing so we employ 'points-in-time' as a clear segmentation for forming separate stages in SCRES building, guiding practitioners and future research. A new framework is derived from the examination of the SCRES building process in 22 commercial SCs each being affected by one of 13 natural disasters. Being based on multiple case studies, the framework provides a consistent approach to observe SCRES but also can be modified to suit multiple contingencies. It consists of five active stages and one inactive stage and two previously unidentified actions.
