摘要

The challenges associated with critical and abrupt pandemic outbreaks have long-term impacts, an example is recent pandemic that presented severe threats to the humanity and global supply chains. To effectively neutralize futuristic pandemics, the need is to develop and adopt proactive plans. Consequently, this study formulates and examines proactive supply chain strategies to neutralize the potential future pandemics. The study uncovers 19 strategies that are proactive, responsible, and resilient in nature. These strategies are ranked using the Grey-DEMATEL (Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) method of Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) area. The individual ranking is obtained based on the capability of each strategy in neutralizing the effects of future pandemics. The analysis exhibits that the top three ranked strategies are: “Inventory policy planning and strategy”, “Optimizing shift management for employees and labor”, and “Prioritizing production scheduling agility”. The key findings include policy amendments and optimal inventory levels, flexible shifts and operational preparations and implementation of agile manufacturing systems. The discussion on analysis helps establish theoretical and practical implications for the stakeholders. The strategic recommendations propounded in this manuscript are for the consideration of the stakeholders to effectively tackle future disruptions.
