Overview
Over the last two decades, supply chains have evolved into a complex global network of interconnected suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers spanning multiple regions of the world. These logistics networks facilitate the efficient production, distribution, and delivery of goods, leveraging comparative advantages and economies of scale across different regions. The COVID-19 pandemic has made it evident that such supply chain structures were vulnerable to major disruptions. Lockdowns and restrictions imposed to contain the virus halted manufacturing operations, leading to supply shortages. Transportation networks were disrupted due to border closures and reduced cargo capacity, delaying the movement of goods. Additionally, abrupt shifts in consumer demand patterns further strained supply chains. The interconnected nature of global supply networks magnified these challenges, highlighting the need for enhanced resilience and flexibility in supply chain design and management. The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the slowing of growth in both the US and Europe are further stressing already fragile supply networks. Consequently, businesses and industries are proactively engaging in a process of strategic recalibration to address these challenges and construct more robust and agile supply chain systems capable of navigating the uncertainties of an increasingly dynamic global landscape. This reevaluation stems from the realization that conventional supply chain models were ill-equipped to withstand the multifaceted disruptions imposed by events such as the pandemic.

This special issue explores the lessons learned from the pandemic and their implications for managing supply chains in a post-pandemic world. We invite researchers and practitioners to contribute their insights and empirical findings to explore practical strategies, innovative approaches, and policy interventions for building resilient and sustainable supply chains.
