Abstract

COVID-19 has exposed the risks of complex and disconnected supply chain. Many businesses have realised that they need to reach a state of greater visibility and agility across their supply chain. This crisis has forced practical, agile thinking, giving the courage to test, fail fast and try again. Digital transformations that would have taken months or years are being done in a matter of weeks.

In view of the above perspective, this article first studies the various initiatives taken by companies to make their end-to-end supply chain resilient, agile and robust. Then it identifies various factors for a new age technology that are evident for new-normal supply chain management. Using New Rough Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) approach, the factors are evaluated for most appropriate factor required for implementation.
