Unprecedented challenges have confronted the contemporary era with serious negative effect on supply chain management performance. As known, organizations performance is dependent on their suppliers. For this reason, organizations have to improve their practices in suppliers’ selection process considering resilience, sustainability and digitalization capabilities to retain competitive and ensure viable performance. In this context, this paper aims to propose an ontology-based model for suppliers’ selection criteria with consideration of digitalization, sustainability and resilience capabilities. The incorporation of those paradigms while selecting appropriate suppliers enables the exploration of viable supply chain performance in regard to disruptions. The proposed method is useful to both academics and professionals because it addresses the prominent criteria taxonomy for an effective suppliers' selection in the disruption and digital era.
