Abstract

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has brought huge challenges for global supply chains to keep their continuity amid this impacting and unexpected event. Several industries and services have faced disruptions and losses. This has created high concerns regarding how to better manage supply chains in the face of events of similar magnitude.
Practitioners and researchers have carried out discussions related to resilience in global supply chains through various discussion forums, workshops, and webinars, among other forms. Undoubtedly, the COVID-19 outbreak represents a unique opportunity to learn how to make the decision-making process more assertive to better prepare supply chains for the future (Van Hoek, 2020). Research that provides insights into how to respond to COVID-19 and other widespread emergencies at the firm level has already been published (e.g., Rapaccini, et al., 2020). The current nature of supply chains has been described as “intertwined” due to their interconnected and competitive activities, and the survival of individual firms depends heavily on the survivability of intertwined supply networks (Ivanov and Dolgui, 2020). Few supply chains have matured to the point of exhibiting built-in resiliency and other characteristics necessary to ensure survivability in the face of the COVID crisis, trade wars, and other large-scale generational supply chain disruptions.
