Global Supply Chain Resilience:
Overview: The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the fragility of the global supply chain. This article will analyze the impact of the pandemic on the global supply chain, explore how companies and countries can learn lessons from the crisis, and enhance the resilience of the supply chain through strategies such as diversification, localization, and digitalization to cope with future uncertainties.

Key points:

Characteristics of the global supply chain shop before the epidemic: efficiency first, cost minimization, and single-point dependence.
Impacts during the epidemic: production stagnation, logistics disruption, demand fluctuations, and shipping crisis.
Definition and importance of supply chain resilience: the ability to respond to disruptions and recover quickly.
Strategies to improve resilience:

Diversified procurement and production bases: reduce dependence on a single region.
Regionalization and localization: shorten the supply chain and improve response speed.
Digital transformation: Application of blockchain, AI, and big data in supply chain visualization and prediction.
Inventory management optimization: Find a balance between "just-in-time" and "safety stock".
Supply chain risk management: identifying, assessing and responding to various risks.
The role of government and international cooperation: trade policy, infrastructure development.
Target readers: business leaders, supply chain management professionals, economic analysts, and international trade practitioners.
