Abstract- In today's complex business contexts, disruptions are
exacerbating their complexity and the interdependence of
interfaces systems and supply chains that are becoming more
and more extensive. Faced with this observation, practitioners
and supply chain risk management academics are engaging in
integrated reflections on resilience and sustainability practices
for structural designs of more sustainable, regulated but surely
balanced supply chains. With inherent capabilities to
continuously, support performance levels, sustainability and
resilience even in the presence of potential disruptions in
vulnerable business contexts. The ultimate objective of this
paper is to propose some premises in terms of thinking about
the possible causal links between supply chain risk management
and sustainable supply chains. Otherwise, the viable resilience
of supply chains, in which resilience, sustainability and
performance remain unchanged at acceptable levels in the
presence of potential disruptions by supporting performance
while minimizing the spread and severity of risks through
resilient and sustainable practices regulated but balanced.
Based on these findings, we developed a conceptual research
model that examines the causal links between supply chain risk
management concepts and the two concepts of sustainability
and performance in the supply chain. Through our seventeen
hypotheses, built on the basis of the relevant theoretical
frameworks (theory of normal accidents, theory of dependence
of resources and theory of high reliability of organizations), we
seek to justify that it has a sort of complementarity between the
concepts of risk, vulnerability, resilience and sustainability.
Using a questionnaire survey administered during the period of
September 2017 and January 2018 to companies in the
Aeronautics sector, thus making it possible to build a database
of 102 companies. For the evaluation we use a modeling by
structural equations and a partial least squares analysis to
explore all the possible links between the five variables (64
factors) constituting our study. Our results empirically justify
the advantageous relationship between SCRM and SSCM.
Wishing to enrich the existing body of literature on supply
chain risk management, a reflection on the possible causal links
between risk management and sustainability in the supply chain
was explored through an empirical analysis, to evaluate some
links that remain unexplored.
Keywords-Supply chain risk management; Sustainability supply

I. INTRODUCTION
Given the ambivalence of international agreements and
conflicts, competitive contexts become more turbulent and
more complex, making them more vulnerable to disruptive
events characterized by spreading, uncertainties and
dynamic diffusion effects (Sokolov and Dolgui, 2014;
Mason and Hartl, 2016). Alternatively, the supply chains
competitive factors are required to change managerial
practices by integrating new approaches focused on risk
management and sustainability in the management of their
logistics operations (Blackhurst et al, 2017, Ivanov et al,
2017). This change or reconfiguration of global value
chains will have a certain impact on public policies,
especially those of social voices (eg Health Policy), with
more pressure also due to the restriction of public spending
which does not seem to allow for increase resources. All
these conditions combined erode efforts to make hospital
systems more reactive in terms of the level of services and
care services, which can lead to a deterioration of the
organization, flow control modes and impact the continuity
of operations in hospitals, particularly in developing
countries. As a result, these organizations are faced with
challenges that do not correspond to their cultures, that of
developing models of reflection that enable them to be
maintained in difficult contexts and to improve their
governance systems. In this respect, these premises allow us
to direct our research thinking by recognizing that logistics
chains are benchmarks for revealing the ability of resilient
and sustainable practices to support performance levels, to
control both the degree of exposure to risks and the
vulnerability factors of the logistic chains. So the objective
of this study is to propose a confirmatory analysis of the
possible causal links between the five concepts that form
our conceptual model on risk management and
sustainability in the supply chain (risk, vulnerability,
resilience, sustainability and performance). Whose rest of
this article is organized as follows section one revises to a
literature review quite relevant on the main concepts
mobilized under this conceptual reflection, while the second
section addresses the support of three theoretical
frameworks sometimes conflicting but complementary

(theory of normal accidents, theories of high reliability of
organizations and the theory of dependence of resources)
on our main proposals relating to research thinking. The
third section sets out the purpose also the methodology
adopted, the method of data collection and the structure of
the questionnaire. The fourth and fifth sections discuss the
rationale and usefulness of the statistical method for
choosing PLS-SEM, so the last section is devoted to the
analyzes and results of the two models of external and
internal structural measurement. Towards the end of this
article a discussion, managerial implication and a
conclusion that trace the strong and weak points thus the
limits and new reflections of future researches.
II. THEORETICAL AND CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK
2.1 Supply Chain Risk Management
The supply chain risk management literature SCRM
continues to develop and expand, by integrating new fields
of thinking of supply chain management such as
sustainability or SSCM (Tummala and Schoenherr, 2011;
Ivanov, 2017), as well as new ways, design and validation
methodologies covering all the areas of the supply chain
(Scheibe and Blackhurst, 2017; El Abdellaoui and Moflih,
2017b). In this sense, the first basic frameworks for risk
management have been more influenced by traditional
approaches to managing systemic financial risks (Kaufman
and Scott 2003; Shi 2004), and this is clearly seen in the
nature of the reflective frameworks and the research
positions that do not reflect the contextual challenges
characterizing the supply chains. Other authors have
pointed out that this branch is not yet able to reach a level
of maturity to meet the major challenges related to the
dynamic, systemic and uncertain nature of the risks, as well
as to the complexity of the interconnected interfaces
constituting the chains and supply systems (Thun and
Hoeing 2011; Surya Prakash et al 2017; El Abdellaoui et al
2017a).
The evolution of the supply chain risk management SCRM
has enriched and expanded the fields and methodological
reflections for each process, perimeters of the supply chain.
As a result, the research dimensions have well-founded the
process of supply chain risk management, which (Jüttner,
Peck and Christopher 2003; Jüttner, 2005) have indicated
that the objective of the SCRM is limited to risk
identification and management, thus enabling the supply
chain to reduce its vulnerability through a collaborative
approach by its members. In addition to these two steps, the
analysis and evaluation of the potential losses caused by the
occurrence of disruptive incidents (Lavastre, Gunasekaran
and Spalanzani, 2014). What is needed to secure,
perpetuate both the efficiency and continuity of supply
chain flows. To further this goal, other authors recommend
combining inter-organizational collaborative efforts of
various methodological frameworks to mitigate, control,
monitor, and provide feedback or knowledge transfer on
conditions, attributes of disruptive events, and complex
contextual characteristics of supply chains (Pfohl, Köhler
and al, 2010; Scheibe and Blackhurst, 2017).
On the other hand, these efforts are limited by certain
difficulties in deploying risk management approaches in the
failing of high costs that are part of a complete cost logic
and the absence of a consensus on the conceptual
dimensions allowing effective communication and
exchange with and from the fields of investigation in
practice (Tang and Nurmaya Musa, 2011; Diehl and
Spinler, 2013; Evrard Samuel, 2013). This deficit is due to
the uncertain and unpredictable nature of the systemic
disruptive risks, although the extent of their cumulative
spread has resulted in inefficient risk management practices
that managers did not believe to be efficient for sustainable
management of operations in their supply chains (Saenz and
Revilla, 2014; Revilla and Saenz, 2017). This sustainability
translates into a better match of responsiveness and
flexibility to sources of disruptive risks generating medium-
term commercial and long-term financial losses, whose
resilience capabilities reinforce traditional supply chain risk
management processes (Faisal, 2009; Aqlan and Lam
2015).
2.1.1 Micro Supply Chain Risk
Industry 4.0 looks like supply chains are becoming more
complex, interdependent and vulnerable, but at the same
time a competitive factor that creates value (Christopher
and al, 2011; Gurnani and Gupta, 2014). It is true that this
structural evolution has increased the efficiency of the
supply chain through dependent and narrow
interconnections allowing a secure continuity in the supply
chain management, which results in a balanced level of
performance and customer satisfaction (Craighead and al,
2007; Tuncel and Alpan, 2010; Zhao and al, 2013). Both of
which support the definition of the two authors (Hou, Zeng
and Zhao, 2010; Yu and Goh, 2014) “or the supply risk is
considered as the sudden unavailability of supplies due to
the occurrence of an unforeseen event rendering one or
several sources of supply completely unavailable”. In this
context, supply risks are characterized by cumulative,
retroactive and reciprocal disturbances of speed, extent and
magnitude of loss that vary with the time of disruption and
the complex design of the supply chain structures (Pettit
and al, 2013; Blackhurst and al, 2017; Chowdhury and
Quaddus, 2017), hence the importance of studying the
possible fertile links between the concepts of supply chain
risk management and / or sustainable supply chains (Chopra
and Sodhi, 2014; Dmitry Ivanov, 2017).
In these circumstances, disruptive supply risk events are
likely to influence the flexibility and responsiveness of
operations, considered as a source of vulnerability
generating potential losses throughout the supply chain
(Faisal, 2009; Waters, 2011), and that the following issues
are being addressed: deficiencies in the structure of the
provider networks, intrinsic supplier failures, and purchased
inbound products as well as capacity constraints and
resource dependence (Wagner and Neshat, 2010; Manuj,
Esper and Stank, 2014). Bearing in mind that supply risks
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17501........................................
potentially influence the performance of the supply chains
whose first hypothesis of research will be:
(H1) More the risk of supply risks are greater, the more the
performance of the supply chain is influenced.
2.1.2 Micro Demand Risk
In order to remain competitive, companies continue to
pursue the efficiency and speed of developing global supply
chains, making their designs and structures more complex,
and therefore more vulnerable to disruption, which in the
event of their occurrence effects throughout the supply
chain (Chen and Paulraj 2004; Blackhurst et al 2017). In
this sense we recognize that supply chain risk factors and
events are interrelated, and that an incident by a leading
supplier or transport provider potentially affects the end
customer, more importantly, their negative impacts increase
in severity even if it results from a small initial disturbance
of significant probability (Pettit and al, 2013; Blackhurst
and al, 2017). This interconnectedness of structures and
risks affects the inherent capabilities of resilient and
sustainable supply chains needed to secure sustainable
competitive advantages (Tang and Tomlin, 2008; Das,
2017; Hong, Zhang and Ding, 2018a,b). Otherwise, these
risks can affect medium and long-term operational and
logistic performance levels including the loss of profits,
costs, inventory levels, reputation, and also levels and
satisfaction requirements of the supply chain members.
Worse in extreme cases can threaten the safety and even the
survivability of the downstream supply chains as customers
(Chen and Paulraj, 2004; Ghadge, Dani and Kalawsky,
2011; Nikookar and al, 2014).
This contextual evolution of supply chains in an
unpredictable and turbulent environment, is due to the
adaptive capacity to challenges resulting from downstream
supply chain operations such as the unpredictability of
demand, the short life cycle of products and the variability
of customer trends that increase the vulnerability of supply
chains by increasing instability and unpredictability even
with resilient and sustainable practices (Roberta and al,
2014; Gligor and Holcomb 2015; Duong and Paché, 2015).
For example, the interdependence of real demand and the
anticipation of the forecast demand of all the interfaces of
the supply chain and their concordance with the supply
process also generate pressure on manufacturers' limited
productive capacities, to continuously respond to market
changes as a result of shorter product life cycles, a loss of
commercial capacity that results in strangulation or
amplification of inventory volume and transportation flows
throughout the supply chain (Boyle and al, 2008; Zhao and
al, 2013; Duong and Paché, 2015).
Therefore, the ability of the downstream supply chain to
manage risk is to better position itself than competitors to
adjust levels of disruption and vulnerabilities through
sustainable practices remains the core of the resilience of
demand-side operations. Following this theoretical
anchoring on the risks of requests and the performance, our
second hypothesis will be:
(H2) The higher the demand risk events are, more the
performance of supply chain is lower.
2.1.3 Micro Transport Risk
The recent literature is giving increasing importance to
these types of disruptive events that currently their
occurrence frequencies are growing alongside the highly
vulnerable, uncertain and complex context of the supply
chains, this translates into potential losses capacity and
resources with a cyclical effect on the various supply chain
partners (Blackhurst, Dunn and Craighead, 2011; Chopra
and Sodhi, 2014). As global competition intensifies, supply
chains are required to gain a competitive advantage that
enables them to continually meet their downstream
challenges in terms of increased demand, on-time delivery
and technological change (Olson and Wu, 2010; Tang,
Gurnani and Gupta, 2014; Roberta and al, 2014).
Consequently, this reduces the decision-making time
required to ensure the continuity and the efficient
circulation of physical flows with a level of quality, cost
and time in line with objectives, at the same time a
prerequisite for the success of supply chains, but cases of
exposure to unexpected incidents may erode or even
completely paralyze them (Wagner and Neshat, 2010;
Tang, Matsukawa and Nakashima, 2012).
The literature on systemic risk confirms that the
characteristics and locations of disruptive events change
unexpectedly and that a small event can turn into more
potential failures with serious consequences on the
performance of the supply chain (Zhao and al, 2013;
Deloitte and Touche LLC, 2013). This largely depends on
the variability of the disturbance time and the appropriate
mitigation measures put in place to control the recovery
time through more reactivity necessary for the sustainable
management of the flows of the supply chain (Ponomarov
and Holcomb, 2009; Gligor, Esmark and Holcomb, 2015;
Blackhurst and al, 2017). Therefore, transport risks can not
be treated in isolation because of their impacts on the
sustainability of upstream and downstream logistics
operations, this is supported by the example of both authors
Blackhurst and al, 2017 and Singhal and al, 2012 or a risk
macro natural disaster, regulatory change or micro
modification of transportation standards and processes can
change the upstream and downstream order shipment
execution time thus creating an unexpected bottleneck, with
changes in demand with a direct effect on transport modes,
inventory levels and sales.
In this example, several interdependent and interconnected
supply chain risks exacerbate each other even if it is an
isolated perturbation of a branch or part of the supply chain
(Heal and Kunreuther 2010; Zhao and al, 2013; Blackhurst
and al, 2017). The following disruptive events are
supported for this study: these risks are mainly related to
the distribution of the efficiency of logistics services, the
lack of integration of transport providers, and the
interruption due to a disruption of the physical distribution
of products to the customer (McKinnon, 2006) and in
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17501........................................
transport operations (Thun and Hoenig, 2011), changing
modes of transport, time records and late deliveries,
uncontrolled transport costs (Tummala and Schoenherr,
2011; Hahn and Kuhn, 2012) and finally delays due to the
choice of the delivery mode on budget (eg planning
problem, delivery on time and on budget) (Schoenherr
Tummala and Harrison, 2008; Tadeusz Sawik, 2013). As a
result, it can be assumed that transportation failures can
indirectly affect the performance of the supply chain, so our
third hypothesis will be:
(H3) The greater the risks related to transport are, the
more the performance of the supply chain will be
questioned.
2.1.4 Micro Infrastructurel Risk
To collaborate and coordinate in a cross-cutting way with
their complex systems that supply chains invest more in
ensuring technological change, making them more tributary
and dependent on technologies, this exposes them to
computer threats and failures, in the event of the occurrence
of a disruptive event thus affecting its infrastructural and
technical support capacity necessary for a secure circulation
of information flows. In this sense studies such as Global
Risks 2017, 12th Edition of the World Economic Forum
have pointed out that more than there is technological
progress more than the frequency and the degree of impact
of cyberattacks extend to reach all interfaces and supply
chains systems. Therefore, we support the remarks of the
EY study on information security 2016, 19th edition that
this wave of computer threats become more capable of
spreading and paralyze all operations of the supply chain
hence the need to secure data platforms (Kachi and
Takahashi, 2011; El Abdellaoui and Moflih, 2017b). Two
recent examples are healthcare institutions in the United
Kingdom and American and French multinational
automobile companies installed in the Kingdom of
Morocco in 2017 were victims of data theft and block
access to IT infrastructure. This potential failure has had
repercussions on production capacities, which lead to a
complete halt in production and delivery, translated by
levels of structural deficit and vulnerability in the supply
chains in the presence of infrastructural risk factors. Given
these clarifications, the fourth hypothesis will be:
(H4) The greater the infrastructure risks, the more the
performance of the supply chain is influenced.
2.2 Supply Chain Performance
The concept of supply chain performance is
multidimensional in nature because of the different
objectives, structural design, contexts and interests of one
partner to another (Chow and al, 1994; Neely and al, 1995).
In this sense, logistics performance tolerates two
complementary perspectives, one based on efficiency and
effectiveness in the execution of logistics activities and
control of resources so the second on productivity or return
on assets of firms in order to achieve the level of customer
satisfaction according to objectives (Gunasekaran and Ngai,
2005, Duong and al, 2015). As much as a dominant
performance dimension resulting from resilience the value
of customers (Wieland and Wallenburg, 2012), relies on the
speed in the execution of their requirements via a certain
visibility, flexibility and controllability of the logistic
processes (Lee and al, 1997; Narasimhan and al, 2005)
through indicators to quantify and measure the performance
of logistics operations (Jüttner and Maklan 2011; Forslund
2012). The latter represents a significant part of the overall
performance with a significant impact on the economic and
operational (Green and al, 2008; C.B Muller, 2008; Ivanov,
Sokolov and Dolgui, 2014). Therefore, our reflection will
be on the assessment of the direct and indirect causal links
of the types of risks (micro: supply, demand, infrastructure,
transport and macro: socio-political and ecological),
vulnerable, resilient capacity, sustainability and logistical-
operational performance in the supply chain.
Logistics performance in the supply chain is measured by a
variety of evaluation models of criteria and scales of
measures that vary according to the contexts and problems
studied. For example Bowersox and al, 2000 used customer
satisfaction criteria, speed, flexibility and reliability of
delivery. Rodrigues and al, 2004 used six constructs
including logistics costs, delivery time, delivery reliability,
order execution capability, inventory turnover and customer
satisfaction. While Stank and al, 2001 adopted eleven items
to evaluate it that are prior shipping notice, satisfaction and
responsiveness towards the customer, the respect of
delivery times, the speed and flexibility of delivery, the
rotation of stocks, support of information systems,
reduction of logistics costs, execution capacity and
flexibility of orders. Panayides and Venus Lun, 2009 used
seven items such as responsiveness, cost reduction, delivery
reliability, leadtime, specification compliance, process
improvement and time to market. More recently some
authors have combined several scales of measures for the
assessment of logistic performance such as (Green and al,
2008; Hsiao and al, 2010). In this study, we will consider a
sixteen items combined scale with a particular interest in
the social aspect (Bowersox and al, 2000; Stank and al,
2001; Rodrigues et al. and al, 2004; Kim 2010; Gallmann
and Belvedere, 2011; J. Roy and M. Beaulieu and al, 2013;
Kim 2013). We can admit that the supply chain
performance is influenced in a reciprocal way with the
concepts of vulnerability, resilience and the sustainability of
the supply chain so we hypotheses of research will be:
(H5) The lower the performance of the supply chain, the
more vulnerability of the supply chain is greater.
(H6) The lower the performance of the supply chain, the
more resilience of the supply chain is lower.
(H7) The lower the supply chain performance, the more
sustainability of the supply chain is lower.
2.3 Resilience in Supply Chain
We believe that supply chains must further introduce
resilience and agility mechanisms with balanced or
regulated levels to improve their adaptive capacity in
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17501........................................
complex and vulnerable contexts (Wagner and Neshat,
2012; Vlajic et al 2012). As a result, the structural
complexity and unpredictability of upstream and
downstream supply chain forecasts have made them less
responsive to change and therefore less resilient and less
sustainable (Tang and Tomlin, 2008; Dmitry Ivanov, 2017),
this is in line with the observation of the two authors
Kleindorfer and Saad, 2005, where supply chains optimized
to be cheaper and faster have the opposite effect by
becoming more vulnerable to disruptive incidents of
increasing probability and severity (Craighead and al, 2007;
Hun and Hoenig, 2011). Faced with this propagation of
nature, progressive attribute and effect as cumulative-
dynamic remains the importance of protecting the
continuity and security of operations through the necessary
safeguards to mitigate before, during and after the
occurrence of a potential disturbance (Pettit and al, 2015).
In addition, the authors argue that often logistical chains
that are likely to survive are not necessarily the most robust
but resilient ones that can adapt, grow and recover quickly
in the face of turbulence (Ponomarov and Holcomb, 2009;
Croxton 2010, Barroso and al, 2015).
In the 46 years since Holing’s 1973 work on ecosystem
resilience, based on the study of evolutionary behaviors of
ecological systems, the concept of resilience has expanded
and adapted to a wide range of disciplines, such as physics,
engineering, psychology, sociology, disaster management
and supply chain management despite lack of consensus on
its unified definition (Dani and al, 2011). Indeed, resilience
refers to both an inherent capacity or property of the
interfaces of the emerging supply chain, this double level or
competence that can be manifested implicitly reflects their
attributes and their intrinsic mechanisms which remains
exclusive for this moving concept. (Holling 1987; Holling
2004; Carl Folk and al, 2004). In this sense the extent, the
location of the propagation and the correlation of structures,
systemic cumulative adverse events that reciprocal effect
makes the choice of the properties of resilient strategies
necessary to mitigate them inefficient (Surya Prakash, and
al 2017; Chowdhury and al, 2017). In the absence of the
location of events that change unexpectedly, the agility
achieved through a flexibility strategy that serves to reduce
the risks of demand and transport, as well as the robustness
achieved through a strategy of redundancy adjusting supply
risks (Chopra and Sodhi 2004; Wallenburg and al, 2012),
losses their resilient or attenuating capacity (Pettit and al,
2013).
To illustrate it in an unstable context a small disruption
related to correlative supply can turn into more potential
failure related to demand or downstream. Otherwise,
choosing a mitigation strategy for interrelated risks may
result in a new risk instead of mitigating it. Hence, the
importance of considering these factors for balanced or
regulated resilience management and the vulnerability
needed for sustainable supply chains (Perrow 1999;
Ackermann and al, 2007; Gligor and Holcomb, 2012;
Dmitry Ivanov, 2017b). So resilience can be presented as a
preventive and reactive capacity acting before and after the
disturbance on the causes by decreasing their probability of
occurrence through active detection that early. And during
the disruption a proactive capacity acting on the
consequences thus reducing their gravities by maintaining
the micro and macro conditions of protection, backup,
control and adjustment necessary for the continuity of
operations for progressive and sustainable levels of stability
(Christopher and Peck, 2004; Ta and al, 2009; Spiegler and
al, 2012; Gong and al, 2014; Pant and al, 2014). Resilience
is thus a proactive, reactive and proactive capacity inherent
in the supply chain and emerging network interfaces acting
before, during and after on the location, magnitude of
macro and micro disturbances by decreasing the probability
of occurrence. The appearance of their causes also the
gravity of their consequences through the conditions of
recovery, protection, safeguarding, control and adjustment
necessary for the continuity of their operation for
sustainable levels of stability (Christopher and Peck, 2004;
Ta and al, 2009; Spiegler and al, 2012; Gong and al, 2014;
Pant and al, 2014).
In the absence of the location of events that change
unexpectedly, the agility achieved through a flexibility
strategy that serves to reduce the risks of demand and
transport, as well as the robustness achieved through a
strategy of redundancy adjusting supply risks (Wallenburg
and al, 2012; Kim and al, 2013), losses their resilient or
attenuating capacity (Pettit and al, 2013). To illustrate it in
an unstable context a small disruption related to correlative
supply can turn into more potential failure related to
demand or downstream. Otherwise, choosing a mitigation
strategy for interrelated risks may result in a new risk
instead of mitigating it. Hence, the importance of
considering these factors for balanced or regulated
resilience management and the vulnerability needed for
sustainable supply chains (Perrow 1999; Gligor and
Holcomb, 2012; Dmitry Ivanov, 2017). So resilience can be
presented as a preventive and reactive capacity acting
before and after the disturbance on the causes by decreasing
their probability of occurrence through active detection that
early. And during the disruption a proactive capacity acting
on the consequences thus reducing their gravities by
maintaining the micro and macro conditions of protection,
backup, control and adjustment necessary for the continuity
of operations for progressive and sustainable levels of
stability (Ponomarov and Holcomb, 2009; Ta and al, 2009;
Spiegler and al, 2012; Gong and al, 2014; Dmitry Ivanov,
2017). Resilience is thus a proactive, reactive and proactive
capacity inherent in the supply chain and emerging network
interfaces acting before, during and after on the location,
magnitude of macro and micro disturbances by decreasing
the probability of occurrence. The appearance of their
causes also the gravity of their consequences through the
conditions of recovery, protection, safeguarding, control
and adjustment necessary for the continuity of their
operation for sustainable levels of stability (Ponomarov and
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17501........................................
Holcomb 2009; Ta et al 2009; Smith et al 2011; Gong et al
2014; Dmitry Ivanov, 2017).
As a result, resilience is influenced by the factors of
vulnerability, namely the characteristics of the supply chain
or its environment and more particularly by the spread of
micro and macro risks related to the supply chain (Henry
and Ramirez-Marquez, 2012; Gong and al, 2014; Pant and
al, 2014). Being more specific Pettit and al, 2013 argue that
resilient capabilities designed in a stable business context
can increase risk levels during disruptions, including the
collaboration capabilities, visibilities, and integrations
needed for upstream and cross-functional management of
operations. Downstream fails in a context that is
characterized by a reduction in the supply-provider supply
base, unpredictable demand and fluctuating forecasting
could have a negative impact on the supply chain's
performance (Kim, 2013; Pettit and al, 2015). Wishing to
complete the work of Pettit et al 2013 and Wagner et al
2010, we suppose that he has a vicious circle of influence
between the concepts of resilience, risk, vulnerability and
performance, considering their possible links of causality.
From the presentation of these theoretical elements several
hypotheses of research appear:
(H11): The lower of supply chain resilience, the more
sustainability of the supply chain lower.
2.4 Vulnerability of the Supply Chain
Several recent global examples show the magnitude and
effects of dynamic profit disruptions on the capacity of the
resilience tools and practices needed for viable as well as
sustainable supply chains (Marcus brandenburg and al,
2014; Fahimnia and al, 2014). In the same sequence of
ideas, this viability results in levels of resilience, durability
and sustained performance even in the presence of potential
disturbances that are due to increased sensitivity to risk
sources (Ambulkar and al, 2015; Prakash and al, 2017).
This sensitivity or degree of risk exposure characterizes the
supply chain vulnerability whose researchers consider that
the structures and characteristics of their supply chains,
their internal and external environments, and their processes
and infrastructures are the antecedents or the very factors of
its vulnerability (Wagner and Bode 2012; Cutter 2013).
Moreover, from which we assume that the understanding of
vulnerability passes by that of the sources of risk this
reveals to us that it has a close relation between the two
concepts risk and vulnerability (Berle, Norstad and
Asbjørnslett, 2013).
In parallel, we join the conclusions of authors Pettit,
Croxton and Fiksel 2010 and 2013 on the fact that the
supply chain resilience increases as vulnerability decreases
with a positive effect on the performance of the supply
chain, contributing through resilience balanced with the
sustainability of their logistics operations at all levels
(Jüttner and Maklan, 2011). This can be complemented by
the ability to properly assess and measure the vulnerability
profile in order to compensate for it by a just resilient
capacity needed to improve sustainability, with a cost-
benefit ratio, balanced without eroding logistical
performance (Pettit and al., 2015; Ivanov and al, 2017).
Assuming that sustainability and resilience are mutually
correlated with vulnerability, thus supporting the supply
chain vulnerability increases as disturbances increase and
resilience-durability tools lose their mechanisms which
reduces both performance and competitiveness of supply
chains. In sum of our theoretical concepts we can deduce
the following research hypotheses:
(H12) The more supply chain vulnerability are, the more
supply chain resilience is lower.
(H13) The greater supply chain vulnerability, the more
sustainability of the supply chain is impacted.
2.5 Sustainable Supply Chain
Sustainability in the supply chains as a field of reflection
has undergone remarkable development over the past two
decades (Seuring 2013; Fahimnia and al, 2015) with a
particular focus on the sustainable design of operations and
supply chains. Unlike the traditional ones that focus on
economic, financial and logistical performance (Duong and
Paché 2015), sustainable supply chains SSCM extend
beyond the economic dimension to integrate social and
environmental or so-called short-term the Triple Bottom
line TBL (Elkington, 1998) in design-planning and whose
holistic approaches, that reflect these three dimensions
remain relatively limited in the literature (Seuring and
Müller, 2008). Currently the question of adaptability and
complementarity, in the design of sustainable supply chains
and resilient capacities remains an interesting new research
avenue in the measurement of deploying sustainable and
resilient supply chains in which performance, sustainability
and resilience remains stable in the face of disruptions, as
well as balanced by the ability of resilience to keep
vulnerability at acceptable thresholds (Golicic and Smith
2013; Ivanov and al, 2017). One of the problems that is
justified in our study is the interconnected nature of
performance, risk management and sustainability in our
research area (Aqlan and Lam 2015; Ivanov, Tsipoulanidis
and Schönberger 2017), which we wish to evaluate in this
connection, possible causalities between the concepts of
risk, vulnerability, resilience and sustainability, arguing that
sustainability ensures business continuity and reduces long-
term risks (Fahimnia and Jabbarzadeh 2016; Giannakis and
Papadopoulos 2016).
So to measure sustainability in supply chains we have the
box through the capabilities of companies in the aerospace
sector to ensure sustainable collaboration with their
suppliers and their customers, see also the selection of
sustainable suppliers based on sustainable practices, adapt
their systems to greener procurement strategies. Formalized
risk management processes and experiential learning
processes are also in place as part of the contingency plans
needed to capitalize business continuity guidelines in the
event of potential disruptions. In accordance with the above
and the purpose of our study, we can identify the following
research hypotheses:
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17501........................................
(H14) The higher the micro-supply risks, the higher is the
vulnerability, and the resilience and sustainability is lower.
(H15) The higher the micro risks of demand, the higher is
the vulnerability, and the resilience and sustainability is
lower.
(H16) The higher the micro risks associated with transport,
the higher is the vulnerability, and the resilience and
sustainability is lower.
(H17) The higher the micro-infrastructural risks, the higher
is the vulnerability, and the resilience and sustainability is
lower.
III. THEORY MOBILIZED
In order to formalize the analysis of the possible causal
links between the concepts of risk management and
sustainability in the supply chain (that is, to reach our
ultimate goal of research), we adapt three theoretical areas
that inspire still the researchers (Perrow 1984; Speier and
al, 2011) based on the theory of normal accidents (NAT)
(Perrow 1999, 2004; Weick Skilton and Robinson 2009),
theory of high reliability (THR) (Weick and Sutcliffe,
2001) and the Resource Dependence (DVR) (Barney, 1991;
Penrose, 1959), which is useful for explaining why the
active combination of the two interfaces of resilience and
sustainability to absorb the effects of potential disturbances
caused by vulnerability factors, as well as to stabilize the
levels of sustainability, resilience and performance on
systems characterized by interactive complexity and a or
narrow.
Due to the nature and structure of the systems, failures
represent unexpected but ordinary defects in out-of-control
operation (Perrow, 1994; Marley, Ward, and Hill 2014)
resulting from the interaction of the dependence of different
interfaces and the interactive complexity of supply chains
(Wolf 2001). In this sense, efforts to design sustainable
supply chains taking into account certain sustainability
measures to increase the reliability of system security are of
great importance because of the inherent capacity of the
structures and the complexity of the supply chains, to
prevent the detection and control of failures (Skilton and
Robinson 2009, Weick and Sutcliffe 2001).
This idea is of crucial importance as sustainable and
resilient efficiency-oriented practices must provide some
balance between these resilient capabilities that ensure
greater reliability and the vulnerability factors due to the
complexities and dynamic nature of the disruptions that
influence the validity of risk management tools. This
viability-balance (Pettit and al, 2013; Ivanov and al, 2017)
synonymous with the reliability of the systems will improve
the detectability of the failures, and the controllability-
monitor the potential new sources of risk due to the
interactive complexity or dependence towards other
interfaces of the system, which helps to reduce uncertainty
in the decision-making process as well as to sustain the
sustainability of the competitive advantage that drives
strategic action across the system (Barney et Arikan, 2001;
Christopher 2010; Camman and Guieu 2013; R. Calvi et al
2014).
IV. RESEARCH MODEL ANDHYPOTHESIS
Through our conceptual model, we try to validate the direct
and indirect causal links between the conceptual boundaries
of two disciplinary fields of supply chain management,
namely the supply chain risk management and the
sustainability supply chain management. In this sense, more
than 82 factors affecting the concepts of resilience,
vulnerability, risks, sustainability and performance in the
supply chain are mobilized to examine the possible
relationships between the concepts studied.
Figure 01: Integrative Conceptual Research Model SCRM
4.1. Objective and methodology of Research
4.1.1 Research Objective
Several studies in academic and professional circles
emphasize the dynamic scale of sustainable and resilient
practices in complex business contexts (Wright, 2013; EY's
2016 Information Security Study, 19th Edition), thus
enabling managers in supply chains to defend and recover
quickly in the face of this complexity and dynamism that
characterize both the nature of risks and the structure of
supply chains. (Ivanov and Sokolov 2013; R. R. Levalle
and S.Y. I 2017; Global risks 2017, 12th Edition World
Economic). So our ultimate goal is to offer some premises
or roadmap in terms of thinking about the fertile links
between risk management and the sustainability of the
supply chain. Otherwise the viable resilience of supply
chains, in which resilience, sustainability and performance
remain unchanged at acceptable levels in the presence of
potential disruptions by supporting performance (logistic
and operational) while minimizing the spread and severity
of risks through resilient, regulated and resilient capacities
and resilient practices (Marcus Brandenburg and al, 2014;
Fahimnia and al, 2014; Prakash and al, 2017).
Based on these findings, we have developed a conceptual
research model that examines the causal links between the
concepts of supply chain risk management (Risk,
Vulnerability and Resilience), the concept of sustainability
supply chain and the concept of supply chains performance
(logistics and operational). Throughout, the twenty
hypotheses, constructed based on the relevant theoretical
frameworks (Theory of normal accidents, theory of
dependence of resources and theory of high reliability) that

we seek to validate the senses of influences deemed
important. (See Figures 01, 02; 03 and 04). Table 01 : Coding of the Variables of the Integrating model SCRM2

4.1.2 Research Methodology
Our research methodology will initially focus on the
characteristics of the field of investigation namely the
Aeronautical sector in Morocco, then on the survey method
and sample structure and on the definition of the statistical
analysis method adopted under this work.
4.2. Survey Method and Questionnaire Design
4.2.1. Survey Method
Through a quantitative positivist approach of the
hypothetico-deductive, we seek to validate the seventeen
hypotheses constituting the present conceptual model of
research. For this fact a questionnaire survey composed of
six parts on concepts related to risk management and
sustainability in the supply chain namely: Risk,
vulnerability, resilience, sustainability and performance in
the supply chain. The participants of which were asked
according to their expertise, and the extent of their
agreements deal with situations concerning their logistic
operations over the last four years, using two types of Likert
scales at five and seven points: the first from (1) "Strongly
disagree" to (5) "Agree" for the performance and
sustainability concepts of the supply chain, and the second
from (1) "Strongly disagree" to (7) "Absolutely agree" for
the concepts of risk, vulnerability and resilience in the
supply chain, which can be seen in more detail in the next
section
4.2.2. Questionnaire Design
In order to measure the possible causal links between the
explanatory and dependent variables, we carried out a
questionnaire survey during the period from October 2017
to January 2018 with the heads of the aeronautical
companies, of which it consists of six parts which is as
follows:
The first part concerns micro and macro disruptive risks
related to supply, demand, infrastructure, transport as well
as sociopolitical-ecological.
With respect to supply risks eleven items were used that
capture disruptive events related to the complex structure of
supply markets; inherent vendor failures that affect flow
continuity; failures specific to supply networks and the risks
associated with capacity constraints on incoming products
in the event of dependence on external sources. For demand
risks six items were chosen associated with unpredictability
and downstream market uncertainty; change in trends and
availability of substitute products. In the same sense the
infrastructural risks are evaluated using five items, thus
encompassing the failures of the resident infrastructure of a
material, technical and human error; security failures
following a massive incident of fraud or theft of data; the
risk of loss of own production capacity due to local or
technical disruptions and increased failure failures and
cancellations of operational capabilities. Now for transport
risks five items have been fixed on the deficiencies relating
to the choice of mode of transport and distribution engaged;
failures due to authority conflicts within logistics teams or
complex pilot error chain interactions; Transport budget
planning failures and lack of integration of transport and
distribution service providers which results in an
interruption of the delivery chain. While macro ecological,
socio-political risks were measured using five items relating
to climate change mitigation and adaptation failures; failure
of economic slowdown and liberalization of the national
currency; and the price fluctuation of energy products at the
national level.
The second part concerns the notion of resilience in the
supply chain to evaluate by twenty-one relative items:
The flexibility of the supply chain in terms of changes to
the supplier order and alternative sources of supply;
flexibility of contracts with partners in terms of partial
delivery; consolidation and centralization of requests and
purchasing requirements; flexibility in distribution in terms
of calendar change; flexibility or pooling of transport to
ensure continuity of flows; ability to exchange and
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17501........................................
communicate internally and externally; capacity of stock-
level systems to support flexibility strategies; ability to take
into account disruptions when forecasting information
sharing and when reconfiguring the operations of the supply
chains; Visibility on upstream and downstream physical
inventory through a vendor-managed strategy ability of
technical and human resources to approve a high level of
productivity but manage to make cost-benefit trade-offs
when deploying corrective risk management actions finally
ability of partners to take immediate action to mitigate the
effects of disruptions and assess the cost-benefit of their
mitigation plan using unconventional methods such as time
driven activity based costing
The third part concerns the concept of vulnerability in the
supply chain evaluated by ten items associated with:
The complexity of supply chains (single source supply
strategy in markets with strong price fluctuations); the
unpredictability of demand and price pressure; the
establishment and accessibility of distribution centers;
Failure to adapt the communication tools according to the
size of the organization to ensure a secure transfer of
information at the intersection points without loss of data
and without forgetting the psychological influence or the
Mobbing effect absenteeism
The fourth part relates to the sustainability of the supply
chains materialized by five items including:
Collaborative capacity for sustainability upstream and
downstream of the supply chain; formalized risk
management and business continuity processes and
procedures for supply chains operations in the event of an
emergency; the company's ability to adapt green
procurement practices and the transfer of experience in risk
management.
For the fifth is the last part, it deals with the concept of the
performance in the supply chain to evaluate by eight
relative items:
The time and reliability of the delivery of sales orders;
flexibility, speed and responsiveness of urgent deliveries;
quality of deliverables; satisfaction of customer demand on
a regular basis with available resources; inventory rotation
and support for information systems; the size and
consolidation of the warehouses; reductions in logistics
costs and rapid adaptation to customer needs. Therefore,

4.3. Justification for the Choice of PLS-SEM
4.3.1. Definition of the Method and Objective of
Research
In recent years, SCM supply chain management researchers
have increasingly engaged in understanding complex
interdisciplinary conceptual relationships that are a
prerequisite for framing evolutionary issues under different
disruptive contexts (Xiaosong Peng and Lai 2012;
Chowdhury and al, 2017; Hair and al, 2017). The
emergence of complex conceptual models in the SCRM and
SSCM challenges us on the importance of analytical
methods of analysis to set up to anchor new voices and
avenues of research necessary for the development of
theories related to the different disciplines of management
of the supply chain.
The method of modeling SEM structural equations (Rigdon,
1998) is often used across a variety of management
disciplines (Pavlou & Chai, 2002; Henseler and al, 2009;
Hair and al, 2011; Richter and al, 2016) strategic
management (Hulland, 1999; Sosik, Kahai, & Piovoso,
2009), marketing and trade (Fornell & Robinson, 1983;
Hair, Sarstedt, Pieper, & Ringle, 2012), accounting (Lee et
al 2011; Christian Nitzl 2016) including human resources
(Christian M. Ringle, et al 2018), tourism management
(Valle and Assaker, 2016) hospital management (Faizan
Ali, et al 2017) and supply chain management (Xiaosong
Peng et al 2012; Lutz Kaufmann et al 2015). This is a
method capable of defining complex systems in mutual
interactions explaining and predicting the causal links
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17501........................................
between several latent variables (Chin 1998; Fernandes
2012; Hair et al 2012). Originally developed by the author
Wold 1975 under the name NIPALS (Nonlinear iterative
partial least squares), and extended by Lohmöller 1989
under the name SEM-PLS as an alternative to CB-SEM
with a main difference or the first one maximizes the
Explained variance of the endogenous latent variables,
while the second estimates the model parameters that the
gap between the estimate and the covariance matrices of the
sample is reduced to the minimum otherwise the CB SEM
focuses on the variances of the common factors while SEM-
PLS considers that the differences are common and unique
(Shmueli and al, 2016) it is somewhat similar to the
difference between factor analysis and principal component
analysis (Chin 1998).
Thus becoming a widely used method for exploratory
conceptual models, for example those that determine the
impact of resilient proactive and reactive practices on
operational vulnerability as well as on the performance of
the supply chain (Chowdhury and al, 2017), as well as the
trust and integration of suppliers in a dyadic relationship on
performance and customer satisfaction (Peng and al, 2012).
In this sense, the SEM-PLS or the modeling of partial least-
squares structural equations remains potentially interesting
when one seeks to estimate the direct and indirect effects
through the moderation and the mediation of multiple
constructions of formative or reflective nature, taking into
account the measurement error that makes it possible to
examine a series of interrelated relationships between
dependent and independent constructions that would
otherwise be difficult if using traditional methods in the
face of small samples.
4.3.2. Reason for using the SEM-PLS
Because of the exploratory nature of our study, which
focuses on cause-and-effect relationships that can express
and predict the relationship between risk management
concepts (Risk, Vulnerability and Resilience) and
sustainability in the supply chain, with a special emphasis
on performance in the supply chain not sufficiently
explored empirically. This makes the conceptual model
mobilized consists of nine latent variables of reflective and
formative natures renders it more complex, with moderation
and mediation analyzes for the indirect relations necessary
for the development of the theory that combines risk
management and sustainability in the anchored and tested
supply chain in the aerospace sector of an underlying
population of 115 companies operating in the Kingdom's
territory, of which only 102 companies were targeted,
which represents a small but fairly homogeneous sample.
These results are consistent with related studies in supply
chain management as compared to other management
disciplines (See Rigdon 2016; Cheveux and al., 2017; Hair
and al, 2017). Then we chose for our exploratory study, the
SEM-PLS approach because it is adapted to both the
characteristics of the complex conceptual model, and the
small sample size. Indeed, a guide to the use of SEM-PLS
for evaluating measurement and structural models is as
follows:
Figure 02 : Guide and Research methods flow chart
4.4 Measurement and Evaluation of the exterior and
interior model
The evaluation of the results via the SEM-PLS method is
carried out according to a complementary approach in two
stages: the evaluation of the measurement model (1) and the
evaluation of the structural model (2) (Chin, 2010).
4.4.1 Evaluation of the External Measurement Model
The measurement model includes the evaluation of the
constructs, the reliability and the validity of the
measurements. The goal of this step is to ensure that
constructs and measures have the ability to measure and
reflect the problematic in different contexts otherwise the
measures are well represented on their constructs before
evaluating the causality between the variables. So this
evaluation relies on different measures, which changes
depending on the nature of the constructs is such formative
or reflective organized as:
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17501........................................
4.4.1.1 Converging Validity
A. Reflective Measurement Model
The evaluation of the reflective measurement model
consists of evaluating the reliability and validity of the
measures (i.e. the reliability indicator, the reliability internal
consistency and the convergent and discriminant validity).
Thus the indicators of reliability and validity of the
instruments measures according to the error theory
(Roehrich, 1993) the quality of the measurements initiated
via Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability (CR), rho-A
which must be greater than the threshold of 0.7 also
acceptable at the threshold of 0.6 for new measurements
and the mean variance extracted (AVE) large than 0.5 to
evaluate the convergent validity (Bagozzi and Yi, 1988;
Hair and al, 2017).
B. Formative Measurement Model
The evaluation of the formative measurement model
consists in evaluating the convergent validity using the
redundancy analysis (Q2), the multicollinearity or the
method of inflation of the variance between the constructs
(VIF), the importance of the weights of measurements
(level of significance t and p values, T-stat), the correlation
of the constructs and the coefficient of determination (R2)
for the endogenous latent constructs of the external model
(Cenfetelli and Bassellier, 2009; Hair and al 2017). Whose
researchers (Diamantopoulos, 2008) claim that this type of
measurement plays an important role in future research.
4.4.1.2 Discriminant Validity
For the discriminant validity, we try to validate that the
instruments measure only the constructs to which belong
but at the same time this different with the rest of the
constructs and measurements of the model in question. In
this sense the evaluation indicators are the Cross loading,
the Fornell-Larcker criterion and the Heterotrait-Monotrait
(HTMT) criterion. For the HTMT must be less than 0.85
for conceptually distinct constructs and less than 0.90 for
conceptually similar constructs, while Fornell-Larcker must
be greater than the 0.70 threshold and the Cross loading of
each measure must be higher on its line and column
otherwise the intersection of the same measure should show
a higher value on the same measure (line) and on the other
constructs (columns) (Fornell and Larcker 1981; Chin,
1998).
4.4.2 Evaluation of the Internal Measurement Model
Once the external measurement model has been evaluated,
the second step is to estimate the estimate of the internal
model structure. A useful first step in this evaluation is to
analyze the path between exogenous and endogenous
constructs using the Standard Beta (Standard and T and P
value) to evaluate its importance (Tenenhaus, Vinzi,
Chatelin & Lauro, 2005) as well as total effect and indirect
specific effect (Standard Beta, Standard Deviation, T and P
value) as a summative evaluation of direct and indirect
relationships on endogenous latent constructs (Albers,
2010). Subsequently, a second step is to evaluate the
coefficient of determination R2 to characterize the ability of
the model to explain and predict endogenous latent
constructs whose relevance depends on the research context
(Hair and al., 2011), and where the literature suggests that
the R2 values (0.19-0.33-0.67) are substantially (low-
medium-high) (Chin, 1998). In the same sense, the size of
the effect f2 necessary to evaluate the proportion of the
variance that remains unexplained in the latent endogenous
construct ie. evaluate each exogenous construct individually
on the endogenous construct (Cohen 1988).
According to the same author the values of f2 (0.02-0.15-
0.35) are considered as (low-medium-strong). A third step
is to evaluate the predictive power of the research model by
the value of the index stone Q2 which must be greater than
zero for the accepted (Geisser 1975, Rigdon 2012). Now to
calculate the quality criterion of the fit of the global search
model (GoF) that (Tenenhaus and al, 2005) concretized it
by the square root of the geometric mean of the coefficient
of determination R2 multiplied by the geometric mean the
average variance extracted, otherwise this criterion
measures the quality of the overall exogenous measurement
model in terms of average intercommunality and the quality
of the structural model in terms of average coefficient of
determination.
Towards the end and to ensure that results can not be
compromised on the level of aggregated data (Becker, Rai,
Ringle, & Völckner, 2013) due to the critical levels of
unobserved heterogeneity, as complementary analyzes
intervention-based segmentation or finite mixture
regression model (FIMIX-PLS) which simultaneously
estimates the parameters of the inner model and controls the
heterogeneity data structure by calculating the probability
of observations as well as mediation and moderation
(Sarstedt and Ringle, 2010; Rigdon, Ringle and al, 2011).
V. ANALYSIS AND RESULT
The research model mentioned above (Fig. 6), in which
latent risk variables Micro and Marco related to the supply
chain (Micro Procurement Risk, Micro Demand Risk,
Micro Transport Risk, Micro Infrastructurel Risk and
Macro Risk Ecological), Resilience, Vulnerability and
Sustainability in the supply chain are modeled as reflective
and formative variables with reflective measures. While
performance in the supply chain is modeled by both
variables and formative measures. So to operationalize our
scales and measure our conceptual research model, we use
SmartPLS version 3 software, based on data collected from
92 companies operating in the Aerospace sector at
Kingdom level out of a population of 115 companies whose
characteristics present: Table 04 : Characteristics of the sample

5.1 Validity of the Measurement Model
5.1.1 Convergent Validity of Reflective Measures
We begin our analysis by evaluating the internal
consistency and the convergent validity of the measurement
model, through the composite measurement loads, the
composite reliability CR and the average extracted variance
AVE and the Goldstein Rho-A index of the items
Reflections whose estimates are grouped in Table 4 or
composite reliability values and the Rhô-A index for each
variable are greater than 0.7 (Nunnally and Bernstein 1994;
Hair and al, 2010). While to verify the correlation between
the items measuring a construct, on the one hand, and the
items constructed to measure on the other hand that the
average variance extracted AVE is used remaining above
the threshold of 0.5 (Fornell and Larcker, 1981; Evrard and
Pras, 2009; Hair and al, 2010), the results of which are
acceptable, suggesting a convergent validity of high
reflective measurements (Hair and al, 2010). Table 05 : Results of Measurement Model - Convergent Validity

5.1.2 Discriminant Validity
Following the acceptable level of convergent validity, we
can continue the evaluation of the measurement model by
checking the absence of correlation between the items of
the constructs otherwise, we try to verify that the items are
well represented on their constructs of which they belong.
As a result, indicators such as Fornell-Larcker's criterion,
the ratio of Heterotrait Monotrait HTMT and of course
Cross loading are mobilized. Whose authors (Bagozzi and
Yi, 1988; Chin 1998; Klein and Rai, 2009) indicate that
each latent variable must display a higher value on its line
with respect to the remains of the constructs but also on its
column for the items of the same construct. Thus Tables 5,
6 and 7 show successively higher values for each construct
between 0.80-0.70 for the Fornell-Larcker criterion
measuring the correlation between the constructs and 0.80-
0.67 for the HTMT ratio, thus higher cross loading values
for each measure of the same construct with satisfactory
results. So all these conditions together prove the
discriminating validity of our external reflective
measurement model. Table 06 : Discriminant Validity - Cross Loading

5.1.3 Validity of the Formative Measures
Alors une nouvelle voix d’évaluation est suggérée
commençant par la vérification de la multicolinéarité entre
les items via le facteur d’inflation de la variance (VIF); le
poids, le signe des mesures formatifs au lieu de leurs
chargements (Andreev and al, 2009; Götz and al, 2010).
Donc le tableau 8 ci-dessous affichent pour chaque mesures
formatives un poids significatif supérieur au niveau de 0,10
avec des signes compatibles à la théorie sous-jacente
(Andreev and al, 2009) à l’exception du (performance 5)
qui n’est pas significatif au niveau 0,01 et qu’on le garde
sur le modèle de mesure du fait de son poids conceptuel
comme aspect cruciale du concept performance dans la
chaine logistique (Petter and al, 2007; Ivanov, Sokolov et
Dolgui 2014). Concernant la multicolinéarité (VIF) n’est
pas sévère pour l’ensemble des mesures avec des valeurs
inférieures au 3,3 (Diamantopoulos et Siguaw, 2006; Petter
and al, 2007). Evaluation of the validity of formative
measures can not be achieved by traditional test theory
(Bollen 1989, p.222), due to the weak correlation of
training indicators or (Hair and al, 2006; Bollen and
Diamantopoulos, 2017) proves that internal consistency is
not a consistent validation criterion for evaluating formative
measures.
Then a new evaluation voice is suggested starting with the
verification of multicollinearity between items via the
variance inflation factor (VIF); weight, the sign of
formative measures instead of their loadings (Andreev and
al, 2009; Götz and al, 2010). Thus Table 8 below shows for
each formative measure a significant weight greater than the
0.10 level with signs compatible with the underlying theory
(Andreev and al, 2009) with the exception of (Performance
5) which is not significant at the 0.01 level and is kept on
the measurement model because of its conceptual weight as
a crucial aspect of the performance concept in the supply
chain (Petter and al, 2007; Ivanov, Sokolov and Dolgui
2014). Regarding multicollinearity (VIF) is not severe for
all measurements with values below 3.3 (Diamantopoulos
and Siguaw, 2006; Petter and al, 2007).
5.2 Evaluation of the inner structural model
Once the external measurement model is satisfied, the next
step is to evaluate the internal structural model. Then, to
test the hypothetical relations formulated on our research
model, we begin by evaluating the importance of the path
coefficients by using Bootstrap techniques specifying for
each hypothesis the Standard Beta; Standard Deviation; the
T and P value (Tenenhaus, Vinzi; Chatelin, & Lauro,
2005). Subsequently evaluate the direct and indirect
relationships on endogenous variables as a summative
evaluation through the total effect and the indirect specific
effect (Albers, 2010).
As for the rest of this step, the power and predictive power
is measured by the coefficient of determination R2, the size
effect f2 and the coefficient of cross redundancy Q2 (Hair
and al, 2011). For the rest of our evaluation we use the
Bootstrap method recommended by the authors Preacher
and Hayes 2008 to test the mediation, this non-parametric
statistical procedure repeatedly samples all the data to
calculate the indirect effects, in the same direction a
moderation test between latent variables is used through the
procedures of (Aiken and West 1991; Dawson 2013;
Dawson and Richter 2006) to interpret and plot the effects
of bidirectional interactions (Henseler and al, 2010).
Towards the end of our structure model, a non-observed
heterogeneity analysis of the data structure remains
essential to reinforce the cause-prediction of our results and
to avoid the risk that they are not significant on the
aggregated data (Becker, Rai, Ringle, & Völckner, 2013,
Gudergan Ratzmann, & Bouncken, 2016).
Tables 9, 10, 11 and 12 show the values for the path
coefficient, total effect, indirect special effect of the
assumptions of our model; the coefficient of determination
R2; cross redundancy Q2; effect size f2 and of course the
GoF fit quality criterion. For the coefficients the literature
suggests that they must be significant with t and p value less
than (p˂0.05-0.1), to evaluate the ability of the model to
explain and predict the latent variables as the coefficient of
determination, the effect size f2 and the cross-redundancy
Q2 are calculated by successively displaying values
between 0.19 and 0.67 for the R2 thus of 0.02 and 0.35 for
the f2 and greater than zero for the Q2 (Chin, 2010; Cohen
1988; Rigdon, 2012). Table 10 : Path Coefficient of Research Hypotheses.

For the criterion of the quality of adjustment of the overall
model (see table below) display values according to the
literature, between 0.10 and 0.36 ie. that if the values of the
GoF are less than 0.1 the model is rejected; between 0.1
and 0.25 the degree of quality is low; between 0.25 and
0.36 the quality of the model is average; when the criterion
exceeds 0.36 (Wetgels, Odekerker-Schroder and Van
Oppen 2009, Latan and Ghozali, 2012). (See table.12)
Our last step is to evaluate the mediation and moderation of
latent variables to validate the possible causal links between
latent variables (Performance, Vulnerability, and
Resilience) and sustainability (Sarstedt and Ringle 2010;
Henseler et al 2010; Rigdon, Ringle 2012). Then we
proceed to the calculation of the Bootstrapped confidence
interval (Lower and Upper level) to evaluate the indirect
links of the endogenous variables through mediation, in this
sense the values of BCI (95% LL and 95% UL) are
accepted if the zero their separates. According to Table 14,
all our mediations fail to fulfill the preconditions for
exploiting in advance the indirect causal links between our
endogenous variables in the presence of the explanatory
variables. Table 14 : Mediation - Bootstrap the indirect effect (Total effect).

To complete our complementary analysis that began with
mediation, an analysis by moderation is recommended to
reinforce or weaken the explanatory power of the
independent variables over the dependent ones. Through
this analysis we seek to explain the cause of the
relationships between latent variables risk, vulnerability,
resilience and sustainability to validate the purpose of our
research namely the causal relationship between the
variables of risk management (Risk, vulnerability;
resilience) on one side and sustainability in the supply
chain.
As shown in Table 15 or the indirect performance-
durability relationship (MdR2) displays a negative beta
standard with an acceptable level of significance p ˂ 0.05
explained by the effect of resilient practices on improving
performance, translated by a sensitive sustainability in the
supply chain even in the presence of a vulnerable context,
however the relationship disturbance-sustainability displays
a negative beta standard with a level of significance p ˂
0.01 which allows to lower the effect of disturbances this is
translated by the ability of sustainable practices to absorb
the effect of disruptive risks in a turbulent environment. So
to interpret and plot their interactions effects of our two
relationship performance and disruption on sustainability by
moderating the resilience and vulnerability that is used in
the test (Aiken and West, 1991; Dawson, 2013; Dawson
and Richter, 2006).
Then on the basis of the test of moderation we can adopt the
following reflections which come to enrich our study through the
effects of interaction between our endogenous variables from two
different explanatory angles. As a result, we sought to explain
both the effect of performance and disruption on the sustainability
of the supply chain in the presence of a vulnerable environment
while adapting resilient practices. So on the basis of the four
figures above we try to further explore the ability of resilient
practices to strengthen the sustainability of logistics operations
which is likely to make logistic chains able to adjust their
resilience levels, durability and performance in the presence of a
more vulnerable and turbulent context at acceptable and stable
thresholds conform to their fixed objectives.

In the first two figures we can deduce that the sustainability
of the supply chain and the levels of performance in the
supply chain become more stable and mutually increase in
the presence of resilient capacities. This stability, which is
due to sustainability and resilience, allows logistic chain
partners to safeguard the continuity of logistical operations
even in vulnerable contexts. This conclusion is
complemented by the last two figures, where resilient and
sustainable practices make it possible to remain more
reactive to disruptions, which is necessary to control the
vulnerability of supply chains. Indeed, this long empirical
analysis validated the relationship between the concepts of
risk management and sustainability in the supply chain, but
remains incomplete or even misleading in the presence of
unobserved heterogeneities in our analysis sample. For this
fact an unobserved heterogeneity analysis or PLS-FIMIX
remains necessary in order to confirm or reject the results.
5.3 Analysis of Unobserved Heterogeneity PLS-FIMIX
Then, to illustrate the validity of the results obtained
through the analysis of this conceptual model, which aims
to explain both the effects of the concepts of risk
management related to the supply chain (Resilience,
vulnerability and risk) and the concept of performance over
the sustainability of the supply chain. This is concretized by
the 82 measurement items reflecting our main latent
variables of formative and reflective nature. In this sense,
PLS-SEM analyzes in our case a complete set of data
derived from a single population that may not be
homogeneous (Jedidi and al., 1997). Otherwise, the
hypothesis relating to the homogenization of data
characteristics is often unrealistic because of the difference
that exists, for example, in the chosen control variables,
namely: the behavior (the idiology, the culture and the
perception of the individuals to the risks); the organization
(size, experience and corporate structure), and the pooling
of observations may produce misleading results (Sarstedt
and al, 2010). Given this observation, an unobserved
heterogeneity analysis using the PLS-FIMIX test remains
crucial to reinforce the validity of our SEM-PLS results
(Becker and al, 2013; Sarstedt and al, 2016).
Calling also the latent class approach or PLS-FIMIX is
based on the concept of finite mixing models, whose
population is considered to be a set of group specific
density functions (Hahn and al, 2002; Ringle and al, 2015)
by estimating in a regression framework for each group the
parameters (eg the path coefficient, the indirect effect, the
adequacy index and the coefficient of determination)
relating to their endogenous latent variables for this
purpose, this test follows four successive steps:
First Step: Execute the Procedure of PLS-FIMIX
We followed the recommendations of Sarstedt authors;
Matthews and Ringle 2015 starting by setting the execution
parameters namely the stopping criterion (1-10 1.0E-10-
10!), The maximum number of iterations (5000) and the
number of repetitions (10) at this level the problem of
missing values is not posed as inadequate or incomplete
observations were discarded upstream of our statistical
analysis (Kessel and al, 2010; Sarstedt and Mooi, 2014).
After the convergence but just before analyzing the results
we have to re-execute the PLS-FIMIX up to ten times for
the segment solutions (I-II and III) in order to determine
both the upper limit of the range of segment solutions and
the minimum sample size required which is necessary to
investigate the occurrence of a local optimum (Steinley
2003; Cheveux and al, 2016). In general, the results of
several FIMIX-PLS calculations must be similar. On the
other hand, in the opposite case, we have a local optimum,
which is not the case in our analysis (see Table 16).
Second Step: Determine the Number of Segments:
Once we have made sure that it is not a local optimum, we
have to determine the number of segments from our data, so
we will need to examine the indices of adequacy
summarized in Table 16 below gives an overview of the
information criteria, the entropy statistics and the log
likelihood of values (Sèche and al, 2016). Then the optimal
solution is concretized by the number of segments which
display values as high as close to the information criterion
AIC substituted by the two factors AIC 3 and AIC 4 as well
as that of the information criterion of Akaike CAIC and the
BIC Bayesian information criterion with an entropy
indicator greater than 0.5 (see bold numbers in Table 16)
indicating that there is better separation of the I segment
and therefore the correct number can not be greater than
that (Hair and al, 2016).
To complete our reasoning table.17 examines the size of
segments that validates that the selection of more than one
segment can not be valid. For example for a three segment
solution the distribution is broken down as follows: segment
I with (38.4% -39,163 observations); segment II (34.8% -
35,496 observations); segment III with only (27% -27.54
observations), even for a two-segment solution the
distribution remains inadequate with segment I (71.4% -
72,828 observations); segment II (28.6% -29,172
observations). As can be seen from our analysis, segments
two and three with small observations can not justify the
validity of our analysis which justifies the weight of
segment I which is large enough to justify the strategic
intent (Sarstedt and Mooi, 2014).
To conclude our results indicate that there is not a level of
heterogeneity not observed on the data of our study this
allows us to limit our analysis to the overall data set which
justifies the validity of our results without past by the third
and fourth stages of explanation of latent segment structure
and estimation of segment models (Hair and al, 2014; Hair
and al, 2016).

VI. DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATION
Based on the implications of this work, we have attempted
to evaluate the possible causal links between risk
management and sustainability concepts in the supply
chain, with a view to promoting the inherent attributes of
sustainable and resilient practices. Competitive
Competitiveness of supply chains (Golicic and Smith,
2013), translated by their ability to continuously manage
their logistics operations under different conditions and
turbulent business contexts. However, for companies in the
Aeronautical sector, the nature of the micro and macro
disruptive events does not in itself dictate the nature, level
and severity of the propagations in their supply chains, this
observation is explained by the limit of the classical
approaches based on the static risk assessment by
probability and severity parameters, while the dynamic and
interconnected nature of disruptive events requires in
addition to other factors that Blackhurst and al, 2017 have
grouped into the structure, design of supply chains and
human reflection as three cornerstones for any effective and
efficient decision-making process. And any model and risk
management plan that ignores the interactions of these three
factors can be devastating upstream as well as downstream
(Ivanov, 2017; Blackhurst and al, 2017).
A recent example of the central dairy company in Morocco
following a boycott company on the rise in prices has
suffered significant losses, so the intervention of a
disruptive event downstream has spread throughout its
supply chain with a complete shutdown of a production unit
following the drastic drop in turnover and indirectly on
upstream direct suppliers. This proves once again that the
causes with propagating effects are difficult to anticipate
their transmissions and their destinations, because of the
bad answer which is due to the lack of trust between the
partners of the same supply chain (Christopher and Lee,
2004). A second finding is the ability of supply chains to
continuously adjust these resources through resilient
practices to guide and control the nature of disturbances or
what is called by the author (Ambulkar and al, 2015), as the
synergistic effect of risk management on the resilience of
the business. These two aspects of risk disruption in a
vulnerable environment and resilient practices can be
complemented by the issue of sustainability in the supply
chain through the ability of resilient and sustainable
practices to ensure a more sustainable and balanced
resilient supply chain design (Pettit and al, 2015). This
viability and balance are due to the will of the actors to
master the design of their supply chains to include two
complementary compromises which are most often the
effectiveness-resistance and the vulnerability-resilience for
practices of risk management more common than
integrators necessary for a fair distribution of the risk-return
ratio between the different partners of a supply chain.
Indeed this quantitative research is not without limit as the
results depend strongly on the reflection, reasoning,
interpretation of the researchers (Clark and al, 2010) but
also on the nature of the non-exhaustive information and the
specific context of the field investigation, which can be
brought closer by factors beyond our reach. Thus the
exploratory nature of our scope of study and the emphasis
on the aeronautics sector do not allow us to generalize our
results, which still require confirmation efforts tested in
other sectors (eg Hospital Sector). However and from a
point of view of these limitations, this research provides a
level of interest in theoretical underpinnings and empirical
results.
VII. CONCLUSION
This paper aims to assess the causal relationship between
the concepts of risk management, performance and
sustainability in the supply chain with particular support for
the complementarity of resilience, sustainability and
performance in the supply chain. In this research, structural
equation modeling and partial least squares analysis were
designed to assess the causal links between the concepts of
risk, vulnerability, resilience, sustainability, and
performance. Seventeen hypotheses were tested as part of
our conceptual model and the results justify that the supply,
demand and infrastructure risks, resilience and performance
have a significant impact on the sustainability of the supply
chain. With an interesting aspect observe relating to the
mutual relationship between disruptive events, vulnerability
and resilience on the one hand and the relationship between
performance, resilience and sustainability in the supply
chain at the same time the indirect relationship between
micro risks and the sustainability of the supply chain. We
join the author Ivanov on the research potential of this
future subject that requires a special intention in continuing
to evaluate the interface of resilience and sustainability on
other more potential areas. Which will take us to a new line
of thinking about management practices with a compromise
between sustainability, resiliency and efficiency such as the
Shopfloor and the ability to evaluate it using conventional
approaches the time-driven activity costing using real data
on the costs of hospitals in Morocco.
