Year: 2023
Type: review
Study design: Systematic Review
Abstract: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was characterized as a pandemic that performs as a transboundary crisis with an exponential growth rate.In the face of a "flattening contagion curve", social distancing has become part of a daily lifestyle for individuals, governments, and companies.Thus, companies needed to adapt their production system to maintain productivity and avoid collapse.This paper aims to study the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on operations and supply chain management (OSCM) and understand the moderating role of management approaches such as Lean Manufacturing (LM) and Industry 4.0 to overcome the crisis.A systematic literature review (SLR) was carried out to achieve this goal.After applying the filters, 36 papers were selected for the final classification.The results show 18 effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on OSCM and 14 challenges that organizations will face in a post-COVID-19 world.To the best of our knowledge, this is the first literature review focusing on the effects of COVID-19 on OSCM, so we encourage new research to be developed to enrich this field of study.As for the practical implications, our study will guide organizations to become more resilient when facing future pandemics or disruptions.
