Abstract: This paper aims to develop an advanced fuzzy approach to assess the supply chain resilience (SCRE) in the developing economies under high uncertainty. The new approach incorporates the fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (FDEMATEL), the modified fuzzy best worst method (FBWM), and fuzzy techniques to order preferences by similarity to ideal solution (FTOPSIS) in a novel way to employ their merits. A systematic literature review of the SCRE dimensions was conducted to identify main SCRE factors. The FDEMATEL method obtained the relationships among these dimensions to provide a better understanding of this system. The FBWM weights these dimensions and identify their relative importance, and finally, the SCRE level was evaluated by the FTOPSIS method. A real case of the leading non-financial companies in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region were investigated. The research results reveal several findings that provide useful insight for the MENA companies and academia.
