It has been established that the integration of sustainability and resilience into this process can significantly enhance the industry\u2019s ability to withstand economic, environmental, and social shocks. Despite a large body of literature investigating supplier selection, there is a notable gap in research specifically addressing the incorporation of sustainability and resilience criteria in the mining industry. The objective of this research is to bridge this knowledge gap and contribute to the understanding of sustainable and resilient supplier selection in the mining industry. A constructive research approach was employed, identifying both practical and theoretical problems and proposing a construction\u2014a mathematical model. This model was developed in collaboration with industry key actors, ensuring its practical applicability and validity. The main result of this research is an optimization mathematical programming model that allows practitioners to evaluate and select suppliers considering both sustainability and resilience criteria. The model facilitates a comprehensive assessment of suppliers, incorporating a wide range of factors beyond cost, including environmental impact, social responsibility, and the ability to maintain supply under various potential disruptions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems13020081","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,29]],"date-time":"2025-01-29T03:26:10Z","timestamp":1738121170000},"page":"81","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Supplier Selection Model Considering Sustainable and Resilience Aspects for Mining Industry"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3249-0521","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pablo","family":"Becerra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Industria y Negocios, Facultad de Ingenier\u00eda, Universidad de Atacama, Copiap\u00f3 1530000, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Javier","family":"Diaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Industria y Negocios, Facultad de Ingenier\u00eda, Universidad de Atacama, Copiap\u00f3 1530000, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"2667","article-title":"Supplier Selection Criteria and Methods in Supply Chains: A Review","volume":"7","author":"Pal","year":"2013","journal-title":"Int.
