This study investigates the relationship between supply chain resilience and firm performance in food and beverage companies operating in West Java, Indonesia, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and the acceleration of technological disruptions. Using a quantitative research approach, data were collected from 193 respondents representing various business scales and analyzed through a second-order conceptual model withl of likert scale questionaires forms and occured by using SMART PLS 4. The sampling method for this research was carried out using a random sampling approach. The empirical results demonstrate that supply chain resilience alone does not directly and significantly enhance firm performance. Instead, mediating variables play an essential role in linking resilience to business outcomes. Specifically, competitive advantage and digital capability emerge as significant mediators, exhibiting high and medium mediation effects, respectively. Conversely, digital innovation shows no significant influence, either directly or indirectly, on performance improvement. These findings suggest that resilient supply chains must be supported by strategic differentiation and digital competence to generate sustainable value. The study contributes to the growing body of knowledge in supply chain and strategic management by integrating resilience, competitiveness, and digital transformation within a unified framework. From a managerial perspective, the findings offer valuable insights for business leaders and policymakers to strengthen adaptive capabilities, enhance innovation readiness, and design proactive strategies to maintain competitiveness and achieve long-term business sustainability amid uncertainty and technological change. © Journal of Global Business and Technology,.
