Abstract

There are two purposes for this article. The first purpose is to perform a reiew of previous research on Global Supply Chain Management (GSCM) principles that can adapt and survive adversity, such as the CovidD-19 pandemic. The second purpose is to put forth a conceptual framework for the GSCM that is sustainable in the event of future turbulence similar to that experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic. With regard to the issues raised, the article posits the following questions. Is there, perhaps, a sustainable post-Covid-19 pandemic GSCM? Can the Covid-19 pandemic-related international logistics system turbulences be predicted with certainty using these sustainable post-Covid-19 pandemic GSCM concepts? Putting it all together,this article concludes that, while debatable, sustainable GSCM is feasible and can be accomplished utilizing JIT, supply chain mitigation, and supply chain visibility, as demonstrated by the manufacturing firms referenced in the article.
