Operations Panel - Theme: “Reinventing Supply Chains for the Post-Pandemic World”

Supply chains have been inflicted by disasters in the last decade — including earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, and hurricanes but most companies still find themselves unprepared for the COVID-19 pandemic. With countries facing lockdowns, travel restrictions, manpower shortages, halted production, etc., the worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 has exposed the vulnerabilities of global supply chains.

The reinvention of supply chains is necessary to absorb this large-scale disruption caused by the pandemic. The key is to understand the best practices followed across the industry and the role of technology in improving supply chain visibility. The theme attempts to encapsulate this new normal in supply chain design, discussing the strategies to minimize the effects of disruptions and bounce back at the earliest.
