According to the spreed of COVID-19 ,many supply chains all around the world, have been affected by negative impacts of this virus, especially in countries with the highest prevalence. In this situation ,a resilient supply chain should have what features to cope with this epidemic problem and how it can return to the pervious condition after large disruption?
Generally, a resilient supply chain needs which abilities to deal with this issue appropriately?

In the global market today, the safe, flexible, and well-managed supply chain is no longer just a goal that one day should be achieved “in the future”, but it has become the critical minimum for any company that intends to compete successfully in the international arena.
This crisis has totally exposed the weaknesses in our Supply Chains. I think even the old princiles & theories may need to be re-written post this crisis.
During corona pandemic, supply chains globally has been drastically disrupted. Mostly supply chains adopt lean approach to minimize inventory and to optimize resources. But, supply chains need to be more resilient in future. Resilience is a term associated with long term. It is an ability to predict future risks and is a capacity to develop required resistance to such risks for quick recovery.To build resilient supply chain, businesses need to collaborate with multiple suppliers from different demographics. Also, it's time to improve visibility across supply chains by adoption upcoming technologies like internet of things and big data analytics to generate and analyse data in real time and for smart decision making.
It will be important to plan supply chains from the perspective of the dimensions of resilience, to increase their absorption, adaptation and transformation capacity.
You could look into the city-level framework I developed and could be useful, highlighted in chapters 3 and 4 of my newest book "the city in need"

An important question on a strategic subject in particular with the emergence of the new Covid-19 which has caused great disruption on a global scale at several levels among the most important that of supply chains. Thus and henceforth, seeking resilience is essential whether it be in relation to this particular subject or others. Here is a link that provides guidance on how to build resilient supply chains.
