Resumen

Food supply chains increasingly face disruptions that challenge their flexibility, resilience, and leagility. Balancing these dimensions is critical, as prioritizing one in isolation can undermine overall performance and amplify food waste. Prior studies emphasize that enablers such as customer orientation, diversified sourcing, and information visibility are elemental to reinforce adaptive capacity. Building on this evidence, the present study evaluates and prioritizes 15 strategic criteria across these three dimensions in the context of a Peruvian food supply chain. Using the Best Worst Method (BWM) and expert judgment, the analysis identified Customer Focus (L5), Flexible Sourcing Strategy (R4), and Supply Chain Visibility (F5) as the most influential enablers in their respective dimensions. The results dwell on the role of real-time information sharing, supplier diversification, and consumer-driven operations in building a more adaptive and competitive supply chain capable of maintaining continuity and efficiency under volatile conditions.
