A survey on Australian supply chains during the COVID-19 pandemic and key resilience strategies

Abstract: COVID-19 pandemic was one of the most severe sources of disruptions that recently threatened the supply chain networks. As such disruptions are inevitable in today's business world, learning lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic can significantly help supply chains prepare for future disruptions. This study aims to investigate how Australian supply chains were affected during the COVID-19 pandemic and provide some key resilience strategies to face disruptions. These strategies can assist SC managers in protecting their networks from possible disruption in future.
