4  To produce cross docking operations that lead for cost effective supply chain in Apple Inc Research Questions The research questions are defined as follows:  Are supply chain disrupt operational management in Apple Inc?  Is supply chain management expose resilience in business operations?  Is flow of goods disrupt in supply chain management’s performance in Apple Inc? Literature review The impact is to make SC resilience strategies (SCRES) important for sustainable development ( Parast, and Shekarian, 2018). Before the emergence of supply chain mismanagement in Apple Inc, many researchers were aware of SCRES and conducted extensive research on SCRES from different perspectives. An analysis of the existing literature shows that there are large differences between the criteria needed to ensure innovation ( Shishodia, 2023). SC (re)engineering, collaboration, empowerment, risk awareness and knowledge management are natural products of SCRES. Furthermore, aspects such as flexibility, speed, visibility and interactivity are considered more important than creating SCRES. Most of them agreed that the SCRES training is necessary to recover from the negative effects of the intervention. One way to deal with product risks is to increase trust in the supply chain, which means that supply chain capabilities must be strong for managing Apple Inc. In the long run, perhaps the key to keeping the supply chain competitive is to be strong ( Hosseini, 2019). A good electronic device must be able to withstand the adverse effects of unexpected events and quickly return to its original state before the risk occurs, or transition to an optimal state after the risk is affected. Business operations are the best in Apple Inc. The objective of risk management is to maximize and minimize the probability of risk occurrence. In today's competitive and competitive business of Apple Inc’s environment, customer needs and interests are constantly changing, and therefore the risk of product disruption is increasing. To succeed in this situation, a company's supply chain must be strong. Most companies know that performance metrics must exist with the specific end goal of improving the quality of electronic products. The purpose of this paper is to discuss supply chain resilience and identify indicators that can help improve performance and strengthen supply chains. These published publications have been collected and classified to highlight some important information. After classification and analysis of collected data, seven indicators of supply chain

5 resilience were found ( Ji, 2023). The Supply Chain Resilience Framework is designed to use these indicators to help supply chain managers analyze and prevent disruptions. In recent years, there has been a visible increase in risk worldwide, and it is necessary to measure the manager's assessment to continue the intervention process of increased chain risk. The exchanges receive attention in business and academic media. It seems clear that risky products can have negative economic consequences. Resilience therefore helps to recover from disasters rather than preventing them from occurring. Methodology The research is based on quantitative analysis and method of data collection relies on primary method. The data has been collected through survey method of taking interviews of manufacturers that defined the mode of supply chain resilience in Apple Inc. The components has been driven by managing supply chain process that highlighted through industrial cluster. In the SC context, companies are better qualified than academics. During the pilot phase, email invitations with a link to a web-based interviews were sent to accredited business school media groups to solicit potential respondent requests ( Sharma, and Joshi, 2023). After two weeks, 30 manufacturers signed up, but four of them gave up because their company went bankrupt. Similar email invitations were sent to 1,300 companies during the pilot phase. A total of 604 publicly traded companies and 520 OTC (over-the-counter) companies received the email, while the other companies' email systems did not accept unsolicited invitations. The total sample available for analysis is therefore 1,125 companies. Research Design A research plan is an important part of the research process. This research methodology will provide a comprehensive approach and research methods used to conduct the research. This procedure serves to clarify the research process. There are three research methods: qualitative research, qualitative research and mixed research. Researchers should determine research methods based on the context of the specific problem and research needs ( Ivanov, and Dolgui, 2020). Qualitative research is based on the quality of the research conducted through detailed data analysis. This research is based on quantitative analysis of teaching materials. A large amount of research has been conducted to obtain survey data for the development of new methods of data collection and analysis. The study was adapted using quantitative analysis and

7 administrators an excellent opportunity to contain harmful situations. It also provides insight into the impact of working capital positions using key monitoring and reporting messages. The management has initiated that supply chain resilience has imposed an important part for the tracing model of Apple Inc. One way to deal with product risks is to increase trust in the supply chain, which means that supply chain capabilities must be strong for managing Apple Inc. In the long run, perhaps the key to keeping the supply chain competitive is to be strong. A good electronic device must be able to withstand the adverse effects of unexpected events and quickly return to its original state.
