Abstract

Coronavirus COVID-19 had disrupted the supply chains of all enterprises and particularly those who had global sourcing links. During the last two to three decades most of the supply chains had gone global in order to reap the benefits that global supply chains provide with respect to integral cost, total quality and time to market. COVID -19 had changed abruptly the demand as well as the supply side of the chain and the supply chain actors were rooted out from the bases. Asthe impact of this was severe and shall completely re-define the demand, supply, consumption patternof the post COVID supply chains, it was felt necessary to undertake a research study involving supply chain practitioners and expertsacross industry domains to understand how the solutions for post COVID supply chains shall emerge. This article enumerates the backdrop and details of the aforesaid research work.
