Abstract
Aim: The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has increased uncertainties and disruption in a supply chain. Therefore, the aim of the researcher is to explore the influence of pandemic on the supply chain. However, to address this aim three main challenges were determined (disruption on the supply side, logistics and storage, and demand side) based on the literature review, to analyse its influence on global supply chain and how the mitigation strategies control disruption on these challenges.
Method: To conduct this research, the primary quantitative research method was used, and survey questionnaires were distributed among employees and managers of the supply chain industry. After data collection, Descriptive statistics, regression analysis, and moderation analysis were used through using SPSS software.
