“…At the manufacturing end, the restriction of personnel movement, as well as active and passive isolation poses a very serious challenge to follow production schedules. Due to the shortage of labor, the production capacity of some enterprises cannot be recovered quickly [ 8 ]. In addition, due to lack of flexibility, some companies cannot adjust production capacity quickly to respond to changes in demand.…”

COVID-19, which is rampant around the world, has seriously disrupted people's normal work and living. To respond to public urgent needs such as COVID-19, emergency supplies are essential. However, due to the special requirements of supplies, when an emergency occurs, the supply reserve mostly cannot cope with the high demand. Given the importance of emergency supplies in public emergencies, rapid response manufacturing of emergency supplies is a necessity. The faster emergency supplies and facilities are manufactured, the more likely the pandemic can be controlled and the more human lives are saved. Besides, new generation information technology represented by cloud computing, IoT, big data, AI, etc. is rapidly developing and can be widely used to address such situations. Therefore, rapid response manufacturing enabled by New IT is presented to quickly meet emergency demands. And some policy suggestions are presented.

Civilizations have witnessed a long list of diseases that have made a devastating impact on humankind's working in almost all aspects of life. At the start, COVID-19 bought the world to a standstill. Today lakhs have lost their lives, many are still struggling on the death bed, and large numbers have lost their jobs. The world's conventional education system seems to come to a halt with the physical closure of all schools and institutions. Understanding the losses that occurred due to several diseases, the present world has to prepare a backup strategy to reduce the economic and human losses. The paper aims to identify the measures required for minimizing the losses caused by COVID-19 to human evolution. Further, this study proposes a working mechanism for several affected sectors during the disease. The paper also discusses the current challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic crisis and possible make-over in the working platform. With the help of this sustainable working platform, the affected sectors from COVID-19 can be helped. Further, we can reset specific sectors and sustainably reshape the world.

“…In this context, Industry 4.0, with cloud manufacturing, the Internet of things (IoT), big data analytics, and digital twins, can improve the performance in these scenarios [11]. Recent research pointed to new opportunities for reducing disruption risks using data-driven approaches, and the analyses of the COVID-19 evolution provide significant evidence for the urgent needs of supply chain digital twins [12].…”

The current global market situation pursues high adaptability, but why? Complexity due to mass customization is greater than ever. Globalization is no longer a theory but a fact that makes disruptions in the globalized supply chain a major risk for operations. In this context, customers demand novelty and unique experiences. These are the main drivers for market success. Therefore, existing products are now in continuous states of change with shortened product lifecycles. The purpose of this article is to analyze the impact of new market entries and product changes along the lifecycle as well as supply chain disruptions in supplier inventory levels. The goal is to minimize costs by achieving a given service level with a market-oriented procurement planning model. The model pursues minimizing the time needed to align the system with the market and, therefore, the adaptability of the system. The research compares classical inventory management models with the new proposed approach by means of simulation with the system dynamics methodology. The results show how the proposed model increased the delivery service level, reduced inventory costs, and increased the utilization of resources due to lower demand uncertainty. Therefore, the developed model is able to plan the inventory supply with a low risk of stock outages. The conclusion proposes a differentiated forecasting and inventory strategy depending on the product lifecycle stage. The developed market-oriented procurement planning model provides guidance for inventory managers regarding how to optimize their operations as an opportunity within the fourth industrial revolution to develop information technology (IT) systems to gather and utilize demand and inventory data with real-time efficiency.
