Supply Chain Practice Towards Resilience

Abstract

The global pandemic outbreak has been affecting an enormous impact on people's lives and societies. It is evident that crafting the supply chain procedures and results based upon cost-competitiveness are no longer adequate and businesses will be required to reconsider approaches that hold “risk-competitiveness” to warrant resilience moving forward. In this context, the Bangladesh supply chain industry is no exception. The supply chain practitioners have faced an unprecedented challenge from the supplier timely shipment failure to a long delay in the voyage, congestion at transshipment and at the customs, delay in the clearance procedure, and finally, difficulties in the distribution. This chapter justifies the current global disruption demands to revalidate the supply chain performance measurement (SCPM) of an organization, and the Bangladeshi supply chain needs to become more agile and adaptable to these acute crisis moments and should emphasize building effective response strategies.
