Risk Mitigation Strategies in the Post-Pandemic Supply Chain Era: A Case Study of Food Cold Chain Logistics (FCCL)

Abstract

The COVID-19 outbreak has had great impacts on traditional trading activities and lifestyles. More and more consumers choose to shop on online platforms, which requires more efficient management of supply chains. Sellers face real problems, such as maintaining a stable and reliable supply chain and avoiding the risk of supply chain disruption. There has been some research on supply chains, but they mainly focus on upgrades, digitalization, business collaboration efficiency improvement, etc. Few have paid attention to the causes of supply chain disruption and how to avoid the risk. In this regard, this article aims to summarize the actual risks that can be found in the operation of a supply chain, taking a cold chain in the food supply as an example, in the background of the digital economy, and to put forward some ideas and suggestions for avoiding such risks. The research presented in this article will help to reveal the potential risks of supply chain disruption and provide some inspiration for improving the resilience and anti-risk capabilities of the supply chain.
