Challenges of logistics and supply chain management during covid-19

ABSTRACT

Over time researchers explained the need for a resilient supply chain because of different uncertainty throughout the supply chain network. Until the end of 2019, most worldwide organizations did not realize the actual need for this type of supply chain model. We all assume that materials can freely flow globally, empowering them to the source, produce, and circulate items at the least cost areas around the globe. COVID-19 illustrates that many companies are not fully aware of the vulnerability of their supply chain relationships to global shocks. Now entire industries, start rethinking and transforming their global supply chain model. Now we need to focus on a few things. • The significant challenges facing the industries due to COVID 19 • The need to offset effectiveness with adaptability and versatility in supply chain organize a plan • The need for developing more resilience supply chain model and minimize the negative operational and financial impact © IEOM Society International.
