Abstract

With the spread of the global COVID-19 pandemic, agricultural food supply chains (AFSC) have suffered from unprecedented challenges and disruption. AFSC must possess extremely high levels of resilience when confronted by the pandemic. In this study, we have identified six important resilience criteria and eighteen sub-criteria of AFSC in the context of the COVID-19. The research presents the conceptual mixed multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) technology to prioritize the resilience criteria based on understanding their interrelationships. Results identify three essential resilience criteria, namely “coordination and collaboration in the supply chain”, “efficiency”, and “strategic management” and the top five key sub-criteria as “velocity”, “visibility”, “continuity management”, “connectedness”, “collaborative planning and replenishment”. The framework proposed in this study contributes to the interdisciplinary understanding towards building resilience within AFSC, and has the potential to be extended to other types of supply chains in response to COVID-19.

评估2019冠状病毒病大流行背景下的农业食品供应链韧性

随着2019冠状病毒病全球大流行的蔓延，农业食品供应链遭受了前所未有的挑战和破坏。AFSC在面对大流行病时必须具有极高的复原力。在本研究中，我们确定了COVID-19背景下AFSC的6个重要恢复力标准和18个子标准。研究提出了概念混合多准则决策(MCDM)技术，在理解弹性准则相互关系的基础上对弹性准则进行优先排序。结果确定了三个基本的弹性标准，即“供应链中的协调和协作”、“效率”和“战略管理”，以及前五个关键子标准，即“速度”、“可见性”、“连续性管理”、“连通性”、“协同规划和补货”。本研究提出的框架有助于在AFSC内部建立复原力的跨学科理解，并有可能扩展到其他类型的供应链以应对COVID-19。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Information Systems and Supply Chain Management (IJISSCM) provides a practical and comprehensive forum for exchanging novel research ideas or down-to-earth practices which bridge the latest information technology and supply chain management. IJISSCM encourages submissions on how various information systems improve supply chain management, as well as how the advancement of supply chain management tools affects the information systems growth. The aim of this journal is to bring together the expertise of people who have worked with supply chain management across the world for people in the field of information systems.
