Design Lean Supply Chain for Post COVID-19
Keywords:
lean production, global supply chain, sustainability, economic recoveryAbstract
Because of e-commerce, consumers request the immediate delivery of goods as well as product variety. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a lockdown within and between countries from 2020. This escalated serious challenges already faced by global supply chains in terms of the bullwhip effect and excess inventory. Global supply chains require sustainability. With the development and rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, economic recovery is expected. However, the research on the economic recovery of supply chains is limited. This study applies sustainability, lean production, and supply chain management to propose a sustainable lean supply chain framework and practical tools that cover four business settings. This study also discusses the use of the framework during the repair, shock, and rebound periods of economic recovery as the COVID-19 pandemic retreats. The aim is that enterprises will be able to flexibly adjust the supply chain and proactively prepare during the period of economic recovery.
