“…During the pandemic supply-end impact, concerns the significant issues of liquidity assessment (Diabat et al, 2019 ), labor unavailability (Ivanov, 2021b ), raw material scarcity (Ivanov et al, 2019 ), higher processing cost (Choi, 2021 ), system rigidity (Svoboda et al, 2021 ), inability to work remotely (Rahman et al, 2021 ), and random demand (Svoboda et al, 2021 ). The demand side issues are related to health risks (Memon et al, 2021 ), changes in tastes /preferences/substitutes (Sentia et al, 2023 ); income of the consumers (Rahman et al, 2021 ); lack of infrastructure (secondary/temporary warehouse) at wholesaler’s or retailer’s end (Kamble et al 2019 ), and credit facilities (Butt, 2021 ). Rahman et al ( 2021 ) defined this category of supply chain risks as extraordinary risks.…”

“…Meanwhile, the growth value of this sector dropped to 8.90% due to COVID-19 (Chowdhury et al, 2020 ). One big challenge in the supply chain operation is uncertain demand during disaster situations (Sentia et al, 2023 ). In this study, we focused on the dairy industry, which holds more than 24.54 percent of the food and beverage industry's total share.…”

“…The food supply chain faces significant demand and consumption fluctuation in the current scenario due to COVID-19 conditions (Aslam et al, 2023). Its shelves are witnessing escalated scarcity and shortages, contributing heavily to supply chain derailment (Chowdhury et al, 2020;Sentia et al, 2023). COVID-19 has highly impacted the food supply chains due to its time-sensitive supply chain process (Butt, 2021;Cancela et al, 2023;Sentia et al, 2023).…”

“…Its shelves are witnessing escalated scarcity and shortages, contributing heavily to supply chain derailment (Chowdhury et al, 2020;Sentia et al, 2023). COVID-19 has highly impacted the food supply chains due to its time-sensitive supply chain process (Butt, 2021;Cancela et al, 2023;Sentia et al, 2023). Most of the food supply chains all over the world face disruption due to pandemics; for example, in the USA, 5% of the milk output was dumped due to various constraints in the supply chain; similarly, Canada and the United Kingdom have also reported supply chain disruption due to various transportation restrictions (Qingbin et al, 2020;Song et al, 2022).…”

“…The cold supply chain (CSC) is significantly affected by how the transportation and logistics facilities are managed (Esmizadeh et al, 2021 ; Sentia et al, 2023 ; Yu et al, 2020 ). The COVID-19 pandemic imposed unexpected pressure on CSC systems and presented numerous strategic challenges for the supply chains.…”

The global–local supply chains are affected by the forward and downward propagation of COVID-19. The pandemic disruption is a low-frequency and high-impact (black swan) event. Adapting to the “New Normal” situation requires adequate risk mitigation strategies. This study proposes a methodology to implement a risk mitigation strategy during supply chain disruptions. Random demand accumulation strategies are considered to identify the disruption-driven challenges under different pre and post-disruption scenarios. The best mitigation strategy and the optimal location of distribution centers to maximize the overall profit were determined using simulation-based optimization, greenfield analysis, and network optimization techniques. The proposed model is then evaluated and validated using appropriate sensitivity analysis. The main contribution of the study is to (i) perform cluster-based supply chain disruption analysis, (ii) propose a resilient and flexible model to illustrate the proactive and reactive measures for the ripple effect, (iii) prepare the supply chain for future pandemic-like crises, and (v) reveal the relationship between the pandemic impact and supply chain resilience. A case study of an ice cream manufacturer is used to demonstrate the proposed model.

Sustainable humanitarian supply chain (SHSC) management enables effective and efficient responses to natural and human-made disasters. Existing literature falls short of offering decision support (DS) models to address the barriers and strategies to designing SHSC. To this end, this study develops a DS model that identifies and prioritizes the barriers to SHSC and determines optimal strategies for mitigating those barriers. This study adopted both qualitative and quantitative approaches. As part of the qualitative approach, a field study was applied using in-depth interviews to determine the barriers and corresponding strategies, while under the quantitative approach, a quality function deployment (QFD) integrated optimization technique was used to prioritize barriers and determine optimal strategies to mitigate the SHSC barriers. The study found that a lack of contingency planning, the prevalence of corruption and political interference, and a lack of social and environmental awareness are the most important barriers, while logistics outsourcing, supply chain (SC) performance management, and SC flexibility are the most essential strategies. We also found that our DS model is highly flexible and can be adapted under different scenarios, which makes the model applicable to different contexts. This study has a significant contribution to literature and practice. We developed a novel decision model that captured cost savings and leveraged both cost and time savings from interrelated strategies to determine the best optimal strategy while applying QFD-integrated optimization modeling. The paper’s findings will assist humanitarian SC managers in designing an effective, efficient, and sustainable humanitarian SC.
