Abstract
In this paper, we reflect on the supply chain issues and operational challenges that we experienced through the various stages of the Covid-19 pandemic. We identify some phenomena that were attributable in some way to the pandemic, and apply core principles of operations management, and a simple numerical model, to explain and understand their occurrence. We highlight some key lessons and discuss implications for supply chain design and planning, to prepare for the next global disruption.
