The book explores cost-effective and efficient supply chain management to achieve resilience in the post-COVID environment. Qualitative, quantitative, case studies, and systematic literature reviews are made in the book. The book follows a didactic approach through which it informs global researchers and practitioners to deal with the most significant insights on future supply chains with a more in-depth analysis of post-COVID opportunities and challenges. In particular, this book provides an in-depth assessment of disruptive supply chain management in certain industrial contexts and explores various Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 technologies to achieve resilience. The book is used as a supplemental textbook for study within university level programs, at late undergraduate and graduate levels, in faculties of business and management, engineering systems, information systems, education, and computing.

Focuses on the resilience of inbound logistics, production, and outbound logistics Reviews challenges and opportunities for the stages of post-COVID supply chains Explores key dynamics of Industry 4.0 and 5.0 technologies concerning post-COVID supply chains
