IMPORTANCE OF SUPPLY CHAIN & LOGISTICS POST PANDEMIC

Abstract

Supply chain management enables organizations to regulate and reduce supply chain costs, and also reduce the utilization of major fixed assets such as warehouses and transportation vehicles, while enhancing the speed with which products are delivered to consumers. The fundamental goal of mobility in distribution network management is to increase the total value of each shipment, as evaluated by user satisfaction. This indicates that human resources reduction and efficiency must be coupled in order to maintain a state of customer satisfaction. The main Objective of this research paper is to understand & study the Scenario of logistics before pandemic and after pandemic, before pandemic majority of the transport was dependent upon major suppliers in the market and now the companies are looking for alternatives and make transportation of goods simpler. The other objective is to see how people around the world realised the importance of logistics in their life, as if transportation is not done via proper channels the supply of goods will get affected which will directly affect the consumers.

Post Pandemic we saw how important is logistics in our life, if we don’t have proper logistics system the supply chain of products around the world gets affected, industries such as pharma, chip manufactures suffered a lot as ships and planes were not available to ship out the products on time, which led to disruption of the market place, and we still can see its after effects as when the transportation was not available factories stopped manufacturing goods and laid if 1000s of people which later led to shortage of goods worldwide. Based on the study the covid-19 examination of the supply chain ecosystem provides a foundation for further research employing a transformative lens. Earlier people were not aware of the supply chain and its management but during pandemic due to disruption caused in the supply chain leads the unavailability of the products at the market and also the drastic rise in the demand post pandemic realized everyone that supply chain and logistics is very much important for the availability of the products and smooth flow of goods in the market place.
