Abstract

Over time researchers explained the need for a resilient supply chain because of di erent uncer-
tainty throughout the supply chain network. Until the end of 2019, most worldwide organizations
did not realize the actual need for this type of supply chain model. We all assume that materials
can freely ow globally, empowering them to the source, produce, and circulate items at the least
cost areas around the globe. COVID-19 illustrates that many companies are not fully aware of the
vulnerability of their supply chain relationships to global shocks. Now the entire industries, start
rethinking and transforming their global supply chain model.
Now we need to focus on a few things.
ˆ The signi cant challenges facing the industries due to COVID 19
ˆ The need to o set e ectiveness with adaptability and versatility in supply chain organize a plan
ˆ The need for developing more resilience supply chain model and minimize the negative operational
and financial impact
