Abstract
It is critical for the recovery of manufacturing industry against COVID-19 by analyzing its impact from supply chain perspective and exploring corresponding countermeasures. Firstly, this paper studies the initial impact caused by worldwide spread of the coronavirus, such as production disruption of raw material and spare parts, unsatisfied market demand due to setbacks in logistics, increasing bankruptcy risk for small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs), and demand fluctuation enlargement. Secondly, the aftershock of COVID-19 is analyzed. With the trend of regionalization and digitalization, two-step countermeasures are proposed to help the recovery of manufacturing industry within the pandemic and better prepare for the post-COVID-19 world from supply chain perspective.
