Supply Chain Logistics Risk Mitigation

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the business landscape for several organizations throughout the world, emphasizing the significance of being able to respond, adapt, and set up crisis management processes in an attempt to withstand uncertain situations. The necessity of supply chain resilience and risk management is more evident than previously as organizations attempt to strengthen operations and business resilience. The authors conducted an empirical investigation within the Nigerian supply chain logistics setting to evaluate and compare the uncertainties, tactics, and strategies employed by two businesses in Nigeria's northeastern region, where insurgency and banditry are rampant, exacerbated by the novel COVID-19 pandemic. The chapter provides a theoretical approach to logistics and supply chain management, delving into the fundamental business processes of the Global Supply Chain Forum (GSCF) and the role of logistics in each of the emphasized businesses.
