Supply chain viability in the post-COVID era
本文介绍后疫情时代供应链生存能力面临的新挑战，如需求波动和长期短缺，并汇集了数学优化、网络理论等多领域的最新研究，对供应链管理者和学者有参考价值。
Born during the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain viability theory and practice are getting increasingly important in the post-COVID era. This era is characterized by new and unprecedented challenges to supply chain and operations management because of highly volatile demand, supply, and capacities. Examples include long-term political and economic crises and long-term shortages of critical components (e.g., semiconductors). Papers in this Special Issue represent the most recent research on supply chain viability stemming from the fields of mathematical optimization under epistemic (known-unknown) and deep (unknown-unknown) uncertainty, network theory, game theory, complex adaptive systems, control theory, digital technology, and data-driven analytics. This Special Issue is an important milestone for the future development of supply chain viability knowledge.
