Abstract

Cold supply chain (CSC) comprises temperature-sensitive processes, starting from the supply of raw materials, manufacturing, and finally the delivery of finished goods to the end consumers via transport services. Pandemics such as COVID-19 pose threats to its overall functioning and to cater to this issue, the study will ensure the sustainable functioning of CSC by recommending resilience strategies. To do so, the COVID-19 disruptions in the CSC and the resilient sustainability strategies were collected via a vigorous literature review and were analyzed via a Fuzzy QFD technique. The results concluded “crisis simulation,” “identification and securing of logistics,” and “digitalization of cold supply chain” as the top three strategies to ensure the resilience of CSC under disruptions caused by COVID-19. The study recommends necessary steps to the policymakers to ensure a resilient and quality effective CSC. The application of the study proves to be the first of its kind in a developing country such as Pakistan. JEL Classification: C54, D81, H12

2019冠状病毒病中断下提高冷供应链韧性和质量:以发展中国家为例

冷供应链(CSC)包括对温度敏感的过程，从原材料供应、制造开始，最后通过运输服务将成品交付给最终消费者。COVID-19等大流行病对CSC的整体运作构成威胁，为了解决这一问题，该研究将通过推荐复原力战略来确保CSC的可持续运作。为此，通过大量文献综述收集了COVID-19对CSC的破坏和弹性可持续性战略，并通过模糊QFD技术进行了分析。结果显示，在新冠肺炎疫情下，确保CSC弹性的三大战略是“危机模拟”、“物流识别和保障”、“冷供应链数字化”。该研究向政策制定者建议了必要的步骤，以确保有弹性和质量有效的CSC。这项研究的应用在巴基斯坦这样的发展中国家尚属首次。JEL分类:C54, D81, H12

期刊介绍： The objectives of the Australian Journal of Management are to encourage and publish research in the field of management. The terms management and research are both broadly defined. The former includes the management of firms, groups, industries, regulatory bodies, government, and other institutions. The latter encompasses both discipline- and problem-based research. Consistent with the policy, the Australian Journal of Management publishes research in accounting, applied economics, finance, industrial relations, political science, psychology, statistics, and other disciplines, provided the application is to management, as well as research in areas such as marketing, corporate strategy, operations management, organisation development, decision analysis, and other problem-focuses paradigms.
