Supply chain resilience through Covid-19 and beyond

The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the fundamental principles of supply chain management and has thrown into question conventional norms of the way businesses operate, collaborate and, particularly, use the supply chain.

In this episode, host Daniel Ridge speaks with the guest editors of the special issue Learning from the Covid-19 pandemic: Planning, controlling and driving change for greater resilience in supply chains that appeared in Supply Chain Management, an international journal at the end of last year.

The special issue that Professor Liz Breen and Professor Claire Hannibal co-guest edited brings together eight papers that focus on resilience, sourcing, agility, responsiveness and learning and are drawn on research situated in the UK, USA, Austria, Brazil, India, China and Thailand.

We are also joined by the journal’s Editor in Chief, Professor Beverly Wagner who co-authored the article titled The power of purpose – lessons in agility from the Ventilator Challenge and author Dr Claire Frances Lindsay who co-authored the article Supply chain resilience during pandemic disruption: evidence from healthcare.
