Abstract
Under the ravages of COVID-19, global supply chains have encountered unprecedented disruptions. Past experiences cannot fully explain the situations nor provide any suitable responses to these fatal shocks on supply chain management (SCM), especially in todays’ highly intertwined/globalized business environment. This research thus revisits and rechecks the crucial components for global SCM during such special periods, and the basic essence of such management covers numerous perspectives that can be categorized into a multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) approach. To handle this complex issue appropriately, one can introduce a fusion intelligent system that involves data envelopment analysis (DEA), rough set theory (RST), and MCDM to understand the reality of the analyzed problem in a faster and better manner. Based on the empirical results, we rank the priorities in order as cash management and information (D), raw material supply (B), global management strategy (C), and productivity and logistics (A) for improvement in SCM. This finding is confirmed by companies now undergoing a downsizing strategy in order to survive in this harsh business environment.
