Manufacturing and service supply chain resilience to the COVID-19 outbreak: Lessons learned from the automobile and airline industries

Abstract

Highlights Insights into the impact of COVID-19 outbreak on automobile and airline supply chain is provided. Integrated time-to-recovery and financial impact analysis, empirical survey and semi-structured interviews were used. Localized supply sources and industry 4.0 technologies identified as significant strategies by automobile industry. Business continuity by defining operations at the airport and flights perceived significant strategy by airline industry. Real-time information sharing and cooperation among supply chain stakeholders is critical.

Artificial intelligence-driven innovation for enhancing supply chain resilience and performance under the effect of supply chain dynamism: an empirical investigation

“…Through two waves of data collection over four weeks and after three e-mail reminders, we obtained 279 complete and usable responses, giving an effective response rate of 24.73%. This response rate is entirely adequate in keeping with surveys' usual response rate in prior studies (Belhadi et al 2020a , b ; Dubey et al 2020 ). The profiles of the responding firms are summarized in Table 2 .…”

“…However, the recent global disruption caused by the COVID-19 outbreak gives rise to the new concept of adaptive resilience, positing that there cannot be a state of equilibrium in complex and intertwined supply chains. Therefore, resilience should be seen as situational capability acquired through continuous learning and adaptations from a series of disruptions (Belhadi et al 2020a , b ). Ponomarov and Holcomb ( 2009 ) claimed that resilient supply chains are less sensitive to disturbances and are more absorptive of supply chain disruptions.…”

Transformation of Ukrainian Automotive Industry in the Context of Electromobility: Applying the Experience of Visegrad States

“…Engineers need to be able to implement a new approach to production, fully linking physical work to the digital world, automating processes and allowing machines to operate independently. Despite the view of the job automation's limited effect [15] (for Germany), most researchers predict a significant impact on employment and / or wages ( [16] for the US; [17,18] for six EU countries). It is proved that the pace of implementing the achievements of Industry 4.0 will vary in different industries and countries.…”

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

“…Some, such as Air Italy and Germanwings, have already ceased operations [2]. Inevitably, the pandemic put thousands of jobs at risk worldwide, mainly those reliant on airline activity [3]. Layoffs were announced by airlines expecting billions in losses due to the pandemic.…”
