Abstract
The objectives of this study are to explore the effects of disruption events on the manufacturing supply chain and investigate the strategies to minimise the impact of disruption events. A survey of professionals involved in supply chain and have dealt with disruptions in the supply chain was carried out with the aid of a well-structured questionnaire. A mean item score was carried out and the findings from the analysis of the effect of catastrophic events to manufacturing supply chain revealed death and injuries. Furthermore, Creation of risk management that include top leadership and strong integration/teamwork, using information technology are the main strategies to minimise the impacts of catastrophic events on manufacturing supply chain. The study recommended that organisations in the manufacturing industry can use the strategies to minimise the impact of future catastrophic events on Manufacturing supply chain for creating resilient manufacturing industry.
