Coronavirus (COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2) and supply chain resilience: a research note
by Dmitry Ivanov; Ajay Das
International Journal of Integrated Supply Management (IJISM), Vol. 13, No. 1, 2020

Abstract: Firms have learned how to strengthen the resilience of their global supply chains (SC) to confront disruptions triggered by severe disasters. However, a new instigator of SC disruption, quite unlike any seen in recent times, has now emerged – the COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 virus. We model the ripple effect of an epidemic outbreak in global SCs considering the velocity of pandemic propagation, the duration of production, distribution and market disruption, and a demand decline. We analyse pandemic supply risk mitigation measures and potential recovery paths. Implications for future research and global SC (re)-designs are also discussed.
