Abstract

During the pandemic era, the supply chain was one of the most impacted sectors. The pandemic has been a prominent phenomenon, and it will take a while to get back to everyday life. However, the demand for daily needs and necessities never dropped. This study aims to present how pandemics impact a global supply chain by restraining the flexibility of the supply chain. The data were collected from a reputed Global retail supplier; the supplied goods are largely textile-based finished goods. The study presents the main areas where pandemics hit the most and what steps and modifications were applied to find a solution to lessen the damage and survive during the pandemics.

The data were collected directly from the company. And due to some privacy issues and license criteria, the company name can not be revealed in the study. SPSS, G-suite and
Microsoft Office was used during the study to analyze and present the data.
