“…Certain countries’ emergency readiness is critical for minimizing the crisis’s impacts (Khalifa et al , 2020). Wearing masks in public areas is an efficient way to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 (Safa et al , 2021). In many nations throughout the world, this approach is recommended highly (Tran, 2021; Ju et al , 2021; Longrich and Sheppard, 2020; Greenhalgh et al , 2020).…”

Purpose COVID-19 pandemic has exposed that even the best of the developed nations have surrendered to the devastations imposed on the global supply chains. The purpose of this study is to explore how COVID-19 has exaggerated the supply chain of production and distribution of Taiwan-based face masks and also investigate the conscientious factors and subfactors for it. Design/methodology/approach In this study, an analytical hierarchy processes (AHP)-based approach has been used to assign the criterion weights and to prioritize the responsible factors. Initially, based on 26 decision-makers, successful factors were categorized into five main categories, and then main categories and their subcategories factors were prioritized through individual and group decision-maker’s contexts by using the AHP approach. Findings The results of this AHP model suggest that “Safety” is the most important and top-ranked factor, followed by production, price, work environment and distribution. The key informers in this study are stakeholders which consist of managers, volunteers, associations and non-governmental organizations. The results showed that good behavior of the employees under the “Safety” category is the top positioned responsible factor for successful production and distribution of face masks to the other countries with the highest global percentage of 15.7% and using sanitizers to protect health is the second most successful factor with the global percentage of 11.7%. Research limitations/implications The limitations faced in this study were limited to only Taiwan-based mask manufacturing companies, and it was dependent on the decisions of the limited company’s decision-makers. Originality/value The novelty of this study is that the empirical analysis of this study has been based on a successful Taiwan masks manufacturing company and evaluates the responsible factors for the production and distribution of Taiwan masks to other countries during COVID-19.

“…power supply, heat, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) services, generator fuel, roads that enable delivery of fuel, etc.) whose importance is especially visible in the periods of global crisis as a COVID-19 pandemic (Safa et al, 2021;Suresh et al, 2020). The complexity of CII identification and their interdependencies is augmented with increasing usage of cloud services (ENISA, 2012).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to address the problem of a plethora of potential plans related to business continuity and disaster recovery.Design/methodology/approachA review of the relevant academic articles, standards and guidelines related to business continuity and disaster recovery was conducted, and the discussed plans include critical information infrastructure plans, disaster recovery plans, information system contingency plans, business continuity plans and continuity of operations plans.FindingsThe content of each plan is explained. A layered business continuity and disaster recovery model is proposed, which consolidates all plans in a coherent manner.Originality/valueRelationships, similarities and differences among each pair of plans are discussed, and the longitudinal validity and applicability of plans are presented.

“…Mehrotra et al (2020) highlighted the need to maintain the healthcare supply chain due to the massive medical equipment shortage that arises from the COVID-19 pandemic. Safa et al (2021) critically discussed the four functions of the supply chain that need to be corrected during COVID-19 cases, including preparedness, risk, response and recovery. These factors are essential to perform their operational works for minimum losses during catastrophic events.…”

Purpose The study aims to examine the role of health-care supply chain management during the COVID-19 pandemic in a cross-section of 42 selected sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. Design/methodology/approach The study used cross-sectional robust least square regression for parameter estimates. Findings The results confirmed the N-shaped relationship between the health-care logistics performance index (HLPI) and COVID-19 cases. It implies that initially HLPI increases along with an increase in COVID-19 cases. Later down, it decreases COVID-19 cases by providing continued access to medical devices and personal protective equipment. Again, it increases due to resuming economic activities across countries. Practical implications The continuing health-care supply chain is crucial to minimize COVID-19 cases. The international support from the developed world in providing health-care equipment, debt resettlement and resolving regional conflicts is deemed desirable to escape the SSA countries from the COVID-19 pandemic. Originality/value The importance of the health-care supply chain during the COVID-19 pandemic is evident in the forecasting estimates, which shows that from August 2021 to April 2022, increasing the health-care supply chain at their third-degree level would reduce coronavirus registered cases. The results conclude that SSA countries required more efforts to contain coronavirus cases by thrice increasing their health-care logistics supply chain.
