“…Last but not least, the COVID-19 pandemic has impressively shown how necessary it is to make business processes more resilient. Schnelle et al [20] demonstrate how digitalization can play a part in this. The results of their study show that transparency and the exchange of data are more limited in SMEs than in large-scale enterprises.…”

Small and medium-sized (SME) logistics hubs are characterized by a variety of customer relationships, different services offered, and diverse organizational interfaces. Increased requirements for workflows that run smoothly, at best digitally, are often met by using individual IT systems at hubs like inland intermodal terminals. In this context, the development and introduction of systems are rarely characterized by a uniform strategy, but by short-term requirements and interim solutions. This paper aims to develop an IT reference model for SME inland terminals. The focus is on supporting the independent and structured further development of processes and IT landscapes by the terminals. The paper is based on a project, which was carried out in exchange with experts and involved parties as well as based on a literature analysis to highlight SME- and branch-specific issues. Modeling the current situation creates a basis for identifying weaknesses and target landscapes. Reference process models assist with the systematic mapping and analysis of IT and process landscapes and hold opportunities to identify potentials to increase productivity, reduce costs and avoid redundancies. It consists of many process models, tools, and recommendations for action, which together comprise a “help for self-help” approach. Implications for making process models more flexible to respond to external demands were considered.

“…The collapse in the production of these semi-finished goods in East Asia, mainly in China and India, created bottlenecks with cascading impacts across supply chains, ultimately causing declines in the supply of finished medical products all over the world. To prevent another crisis on such a scale should COVID-19 strike back again or in the case of any future pandemics, four main strategies are considered (Shao et al 2021;Flach, Aichele, & Braml, 2020;Bunde, 2021;Schnelle, Schöpper, & Kersten, 2021;Lang, 2021): a. reshoring or backshoring1 or nearshoring2 the production of products that are crucial for national security, including medical products; b. diversifying (finding alternative) suppliers; c. giving up on the use of just-in-time deliveries and increasing companies' storage capacities; d. improving the process of managing supply chains by a greater reliance on digital technology.…”

Covid-19 Implications Fot the Economy

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The aim of this article is to investigate possible applications of blockchain technology in the fight against the pandemic, which, among other negative consequences, has disrupted global supply chains. Bottlenecks in the supply of raw materials and intermediary products for drug production had cascading effects in other areas, causing shortages in the supply of finished products. The author shows how blockchain-based smart contracts can help improve the functioning of the health service in general, how they can be used to optimize treatment methods and make social insurance more efficient. After reviewing the key features of blockchain technology and tracking the stages of its development, from the creation of the Bitcoin virtual currency to its use in smart contracts and other applications in combination with artificial intelligence in many spheres of the economy and social life, the presentation focuses on the use of blockchain in the management of medical records and its role in securing the stability of supplies of medicines and medical equipment.

“…Some of them concerned its impact on GSCs in the context of IR 4.0. These include: Van Zijverden, Kluge, Jovanovic [65]; Magablech [66]; Javorcik [67]; Görg, Mösle [68]; Kilic, Marin [69]; Abel-Koch, Ullrich [70]; Bunde [71]; Schnelle, Schöpper, Kersten [72]; Elia et al [73]; Fu [74]; Antras [75].…”

“…The dire effects of COVID-19 sparked a lively discussion in scientific and economic circles about the need to change the current production paradigm based on the fragmentation of GSCs and the tendency in many companies to make appropriate changes with a view to reducing the risks it poses. A number of options are being considered, of which the following will undoubtedly have the greatest impact on the transformation of GSCs [68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][86][87][88] •…”

The subject of research formulated in the title of the article was selected due to the fundamental importance of global supply chains (GSCs) of Transnational Corporations (TNCs) in the functioning of the world economy. They determine the size, structure and directions of international trade and foreign direct investment. Currently, they are influenced by the innovative inventions of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0), as well as the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting experiences. This article is a review of the conceptual and futurological character and was based on the author’s literary studies and reflections resulting from his subject knowledge. Research techniques such as description, predictive analysis, synthesis and modeling have been used. The result of the research is the verification of the hypothesis regarding the uncertain potential impact of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 and the catalytic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global supply chains. This article should inspire more detailed, empirical research on these important issues.
