Abstract

This research seeks to investigate global challenges affecting the resilience of the Malaysian manufacturing industry. Some of the chief factors that influencing resilience include supply chain disruption, information sharing, collaborative actions, environmental uncertainty, and trust relationships with suppliers. All of these independent variables are examined as determinants of manufacturing resilience. The target population consists of employers and employees within the manufacturing sector, with 250 questionnaires distributed using purposive sampling. Cronbach’s Alpha will be used to measure reliability while the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS)will be analysed to test the data. The Multiple Regression Analysis and other relevant data analysis methods will be employed to analyze the collected data. The findings indicate that supply chain disruption, information sharing, collaboration, environmental uncertainty, and trust with suppliers significantly impact manufacturing resilience. Trust and cooperation are needed to build robust partnerships when environmental dynamics are beyond the control of an organisation and should be studied in more detail about its persistent impact. The research helps to enhance the existing knowledge on resilience in Malaysian manufacturing industry and contains some recommendations for enhancing strategic management in the context of global fluctuations.
