Abstract: 
In recent years, supply chain resilience has emerged as a critical focus for companies worldwide, particularly in the USA, as they face increasing disruptions from various sources such as natural disasters, geopolitical tensions, and pandemics. This review paper explores how technological advancements are equipping American businesses with the tools needed to enhance the robustness and flexibility of their supply chains. Key technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT), and advanced analytics are examined for their roles in predicting disruptions, optimizing operations, and facilitating swift responses to unforeseen challenges. The paper also highlights case studies of prominent USA companies that have successfully implemented these technologies to mitigate risks and maintain operational continuity. By analyzing current trends and future prospects, this review emphasizes the importance of continuous innovation and adaptation in achieving supply chain resilience, providing valuable insights for industry stakeholders aiming to fortify their supply chains against future disruptions.
