Amid the Covid-19 crisis, one of the biggest challenges that developing and even developed countries faced was the disruption in the global supply chain. In past decades, there has been an over-reliance on China, the largest manufacturing hub. But when the pandemic hit the world, subsequent lockdowns were imposed. This greatly affected the efficiency of supply chain management. The paper discusses the importance of the global supply chain and how Covid-19 affected the chain. Also, the difference between the pre-Covid era and the post-Covid era has been studied so to understand the necessity of moving from efficiency to resilience.
