Resilient and Collaborative Supply Chains in a Post-Pandemic World: a Focus on Mitigating Risks and Enhancing Productivity

EasyChair Preprint 12405

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted global supply chains, exposing their vulnerabilities and emphasizing the critical need for resilience and collaboration. This abstract explores the importance of building resilient and collaborative supply chains in a post-pandemic world, with a specific focus on mitigating risks and enhancing productivity.

The pandemic highlighted the fragility of supply chains, as disruptions in transportation, manufacturing, and logistics reverberated across industries worldwide. In the face of such challenges, organizations have recognized the necessity of developing strategies that can effectively manage risks and ensure continuity of operations.

Resilient supply chains are characterized by their ability to withstand and recover from disruptions, adapt to changing circumstances, and minimize the impact of future crises. This abstract delves into various approaches and best practices for fostering resilience, such as diversifying sourcing and production locations, implementing robust risk management systems, and leveraging technology for real-time visibility and data-driven decision-making.

Collaboration among supply chain partners is instrumental in building resilience and enhancing productivity. By forging strong relationships, sharing information, and collaborating on risk mitigation strategies, organizations can create a network that is better equipped to respond to disruptions collectively. This abstract explores the role of collaboration in addressing supply chain vulnerabilities, including the establishment of strategic partnerships, the use of collaborative technologies, and the adoption of shared risk management frameworks.
