“…Moreover, the triple-A components are interconnected (Aslam et al 2018 ; Wamba et al 2020 ); hence, one component contributes to disruption recovery by influencing others. To improve relational infrastructure, the role of technology, internal and external process connectivity, and big data are also highlighted (Roscoe et al 2020 ). A recent study investigated the production recovery plan for a high-demand item by considering the impacts of COVID-19 also finds that collaboration can help in quick recovery (Paul and Chowdhury 2020 ).…”

Due to the recent pandemic of coronavirus, known as the COVID-19 outbreak, the supply chains have been impacted most significantly. Manufacturers of certain items have experienced a substantial increase in demand, and on the other hand, raw materials supply, to produce those items, has reduced because of supply failure. To overcome these challenges, this paper proposes some strategies to improve service level during an extraordinary pandemic outbreak, such as COVID-19, for the most wanted products such as toilet paper. This study considers meeting the increased demand of the customers for an essential product of daily life like toilet paper during a pandemic is beyond the traditional economic objective, i.e., increase profit, of the manufacturers. Instead, this should be more about the social responsibility of all the manufactures to ensure that they can serve more customers. Motivated by this and taking toilet paper as an example of the product, we first analyzed the current scenario of the manufacturing and the demand for the product and then proposed some strategies to deal with this unprecedented risk and analyzed the results. We have compared the results, using hypothetical data, between the current scenario and proposed strategies. The result shows that sharing information and resources from all manufacturers to produce under a single brand, emergency sourcing, producing basic quality items, and packing in the smallest sizes have a significant positive impact on the service level. This paper first investigates the strategies for a high-demand and essential item during a pandemic situation and proposes strategies to deal with this unique, extraordinary disruption.

For a company to survive in the long run, it is necessary to attract enough customers to generate profitability. Since the high uncertainty in organizations requires a more rapid response to customers’ needs, agility is a critical success factor for today’s manufacturing enterprise. To be competitive, enterprises must integrate their supply chains more effectively and forge close memberships with customers and suppliers more quickly. Therefore, the current study attempts to understand how supply chain agility has evolved. We have used a systematic literature review approach to examine the current state of the art and identify potential research gaps. It has indicated how companies can form and preserve competitive advantages in turbulent environments between manufacturers and consumers. From the outcomes, it can be observed that the developed supply chain agility has positive impacts on the sales of companies, velocity to market, profitability, market share and consumers’ satisfaction. Also, the investigations showed that the supply chain agility management needs persistent planning. Allotment of the resources to the agility aspects’ improvement might help companies increase the influence of such investments. Our investigation highlights the tactics for better readiness to attain supply chain agility that is the central part of electronic firms' competency in an emerging market.

“…Internal integration, as the level of supply chain integration, is focused on the integration of processes within a particular enterprise. The goal of this level of integration is to produce a quality product through teamwork of organizational parts of the company, with minimal costs (Cao et al 2015;Qi et al, 2017;Roscoe et al, 2020). Efficient internal integration contributes to the reduction of inventory prices thanks to the fast and efficient response to customer requests and the adjustment of production to these requirements.…”

A team of employees that strives for the realization of a common goal is what every company needs, and the success of business depends on the way of functioning and thinking of that team. The organizational culture shapes the way employees think, react and behave. The business practice of companies in the Republic of Serbia has shown that the organizational culture oriented to employees, action and challenges is an important determinant of improving all business performance indicators, including the supply chain integration, which is the main topic of analysis within this paper. The dimensions of organizational culture affect internal integration, integration with customers and integration with suppliers, determining the generation of the key goal of supply chain management which refers to the delivery of the right product, at the right place, at the right time and at reasonable costs.
