“…As such, this corroborates published studies in extant literature that infer that the use of personal protective equipment during COVID-19 pandemic can be critical to supply chain sustainability decisions ( Majumdar et al, 2020 , Sarkis et al, 2020 , Sharma et al, 2020 ). In addition, this study confirms other published studies that suggest that the use of information technologies for customer demand prediction is highly significant for effective sustainable supplier selection in the manufacturing sector ( He and Harris, 2020 , Hopkins, 2021 ).…”

“…Consumer demand can be highly dynamic during a pandemic situation as evidenced by the panic buying of food, medicines, sanitation products and other items, which induce a high level of uncertainty ( He and Harris, 2020 ). As such, it becomes highly critical for suppliers to integrate digital technologies for effective customer demand prediction ( Hopkins, 2021 ). The third ranked pandemic response strategy is adherence to policy changes while the least ranked pandemic response strategy is economic recovery program .…”

Over the years, sustainable supplier selection (SSS) has become increasingly popular among scholars and practitioners as a viable means to actualize supply chain sustainability. Little, however, is known about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sustainable supplier selection particularly in the manufacturing sector. In this paper, we present pandemic response strategies as a significant aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact and investigate the relative importance of such strategies in SSS implementation. Drawing upon a rich data pool from the Nigerian manufacturing sector, we proposed an integrated multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology to analyse the interrelationships between the COVID-19 pandemic response strategies and Triple-Bottom-Line (TBL) criteria for SSS. Our analysis shows that economic criteria and pandemic response strategies are the highest ranked in terms of relative importance and thereby pinpoints the need for manufacturing firms to emphasize such during SSS implementation in the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, quality, cost, use of personal protective equipment and use of information technologies for customer demand prediction are inferred as highly significant in SSS implementation in the COVID-19 pandemic era. Furthermore, the efficiency of the proposed methodology was validated by a comparative analysis with other MCDM methods. Therefore, this study presents implications on the significance of pandemic response strategies in SSS and thereby enriches literature on the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on supply chains.

“…The cyber–physical system’s objective is to minimize human interaction and operate the system autonomously. After the coronavirus outbreak, vaccine supply chain resilience and risks [113] , [114] , [115] and post-COVID digital manufacturing [116] , [117] are the most common research area of cyber–physical systems.…”

“…Similarly, (Hopkins, 2021) investigated the role of industry 4.0 as an innovative tool in the Australian context and finds that the adoption and incorporation of industry 4.0 technologies are at the infancy stage in the country, and larger firms are more ready to adopt and incorporate than the smaller once. Moreover, he mentioned the impact of digital technologies according to different sectors.…”

Purpose:The purpose of this study is to examine the application of emerging technologies during the COVID-19 pandemic and their impact on supply chain management. Design/Methodology/approach: A systematic literature review was conducted to identify the application and impact of new technologies on supply chain management. Findings: The findings revealed that blockchain technology, IoT, artificial intelligence, big data analytics, cloud computing, 5G and smartphone application, and the use of robots and drones are the key technologies used during COVID-19 in supply chain management, and they showed a substantial impact on the supply chain resilience, agility, and adaptability. Key barriers include higher investment costs, lack of government regulations and support, and deficiency of skilled and technical human resources faced during these technologies' implementation.Practical Implications: This study evaluated the systematic review through the google scholar search engine and only adopted peer-reviewed scholarly journals, conference proceedings, and opinion papers. The study provides valuable insight to supply chain officials, policymakers, and governments. The emerging technologies have the crucial potential to resolve the supply chain disruptions, if they are addressed seriously. Originality/ value: This study provides social implications by providing insight regarding the improved standards of living. This study is the first to address emerging technologies in supply chain management during
