Impact van epidemieën op de supply chain

Abstract

With COVID-19 being an unprecedented event, many supply chains have been heavily challenged. The food and healthcare supply chains are examples of such supply chains, among others. Governments have imposed various measures to limit the spread of the virus leading to several supply and demand shocks, causing a mismatch between demand and supply. These shocks and this mismatch were further intensified by catalysts, like globalisation and efficiency policies. Also, some mitigations have been discussed to improve supply chain resilience. The purpose of this literature review is to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on both the food and the healthcare supply chain and to propose strategies to reduce and control the effect of the pandemic.
