“…The case study and data applied in this study were limited to South Africa; conducting simulations on a broader scale would be ideal. However, the findings of this study and recommendations-for example, the need for an agile supply chain systems (Morawiec & Sołtysik-Piorunkiewicz, 2021)-align with what other studies have identified.…”

The resilience and reliability of healthcare supply chain models were put to the test by the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study investigated the application of supply chain systems in South African healthcare institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic. A systematic literature review (SLR) was employed to explore the performance of existing supply chain systems, followed by a case study that tested and compared the acquisition and distribution of COVID-19 resources. The SLR revealed that most of the flare-ups were exacerbated by the acquisition of insufficient resources and speculative shortages as the supply chain systems got overwhelmed by the unprecedented demand. The simulation of the real-world data of South Africa revealed gaps in the distribution of resources, allocation of medical staff to administer COVID-19 vaccines, and shortages of vaccines. The study recommends development of effective contextual (SA) healthcare supply chain systems to support the containment of pandemic flare-ups. The study was conducted in South Africa and only reported data was used.

“…The production of vaccines for the whole world is an enormous task, particularly considering third-world countries that do not have production facilities [18]. Therefore, a KMS that enables the management of production could enable drug manufacturing companies to create small production plants anywhere in the world.…”

“…In the first three to four months of the pandemic, healthcare practitioners did not have adequate knowledge of how to treat the virus [17]. There were many conflicting views and opinions on how to treat the disease while the virus was spreading rapidly to all parts of the world [18]. The dominant benefit of adopting a KMS is the creation of defined and trusted sources of single truths or facts [18], thereby creating well-structured repositories that enable easy referencing and collaboration [9,13].…”

The lack of information and knowledge structures exposed by the pandemic [19] could have been avoided if KMS were already entrenched in healthcare institutions and federal governments.…”

KMS as a Sustainability Strategy during a Pandemic

et al. 2023

The 21st century world never anticipated a scenario in which it would be thrown into disarray by a fast-spreading viral disease, during which governments hastily had to enforce curfews by imposing travel and social gathering restrictions in order to contain it. The coronavirus disease of 2019 disrupted global supply chains and economies and caused death in every part of the world. Health departments and hospitals became the centres of attention as healthcare workers battled to save the lives of the infected. Governments struggled to calm citizens as the spread of incorrect and, sometimes, malicious information dominated all social media channels. The absence of established knowledge-sharing strategies and channels, knowledge about the disease or how to deal with the pandemic exacerbated the situation. This study investigates knowledge management systems as a sustainability strategy during a pandemic from three perspectives: understanding the disease, sourcing the required drugs and communicating with the citizens during a pandemic. The researchers adopted a survey research strategy for the study. The study makes an essential contribution to the value of KMS and the need to adopt them in the healthcare sector, particularly when faced with pandemics such as COVID-19.
