Covid-19 crisis has emphasized weaknesses of supply chains and pushed them to reinvent themselves and
rethink the configurations adopted. The consideration of resilience in sustainable supply chain has lately
played a vital role, to cope with disruptions for the business continuity. The main challenge of supply chains
is to balance between achieving competitive advantage and acting sustainably. Through this paper, we review
research contributions related to sustainability and resilience of supply chain. The aim to provide a holistic
overview about the modeling approaches based on mathematical programming, used in the field of
Sustainable Resilient Supply Chain and its applications. A primary search is set and a total of 66 papers has
been analyzed to focus only the ones that include mixed programming models. Thus, 19 papers are selected,
screened and studied meticulously, then categorized by modeling approach, sustainability and resilience
aspects, supply chain structures and flow complexity. The resulted findings are particularly interesting for
both practitioners and researchers to highlight gaps and areas for enhancement. Finally, some future research
directions are suggested with issues emphasized.
