Abstract: " Objective - This paper reviews how supply chain viability (SCV) can be used to improve sustainable supply chain performance (SSCP) in manufacturing. It focuses on recent work examining SCV and SSCP and takes a theoretical and review-based approach rather than on new empirical testing. Methodology - A structured literature review was conducted using academic journal databases to identify recent studies on SCV and SSCP in manufacturing. Forty-six peer-reviewed articles published between 2022 and 2025 were selected, with an equal number of studies on SCV and SSCP. The analysis focused on clarifying how SCV and SSCP have been defined and measured, identifying the main SCV-related capabilities discussed in manufacturing supply chains, and exploring how these capabilities are linked to environmental, social, and economic outcomes. Findings & Novelty - It is shown that SCV studies in manufacturing mainly emphasise capabilities such as agility, resilience, adaptability, visibility, flexibility, collaboration, reconfigurability, and digitalisation, whereas SSCP studies focus on triple-bottom-line indicators. Only a small number of papers examine how SCV capabilities directly affect SSCP. Additional value is provided by mapping key SCV dimensions to environmental, social, and economic performance outcomes in manufacturing and by clarifying how viability extends resilience and links disruption management with sustainability goals. A future research agenda is proposed that calls for rigorous empirical studies on how distinct SCV capabilities influence SSCP across diverse manufacturing contexts and country settings. Type of Paper - Review"
