Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify and prioritize components of resilience supply chain in Isfahan brick industry. The present study was applied and mixed. Purposeful sampling method was used to identify 10 experts familiar with the study. In the qualitative section, thematic analysis was used for coding and identifying factors. Prioritization of factors in a small portion of the AHP was performed using suppression software. The results showed that the effective factors included 6 general themes of agility, safety and environmental issues, flexibility, crisis preparedness, risk management culture and process and operational issues. That agility component comes first and safety and environmental and social issues come first. Then three car brick manufacturing companies were evaluated with the proposed model and ranked by QUALIFLEX technique.
