Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic has affected the activities related to operations management in the manufacturing industry under the scope of production interruption of raw materials and spare parts, labour, logistics, finance as well as supply and demand fluctuation. Manufacturing industry has faced limitation in the import of raw materials and spare parts which cause delay in manufacturing projects and activities. Due to the pandemic, standard operating procedures are implemented to ensure the labour can work in a safer environment without having the risk of getting infected. Logistics are also adapted with a new practice to ensure contactless delivery of products and items are disinfected before delivering. The pandemic has caused companies to face many financial issues where they are forced to shut down or take loans to sustain their business. Moreover, the supply and customer demand for the products fluctuate as the lifestyle of people changes to adapt themselves to the pandemic. The effects have showed the importance of implementing countermeasures to prepare the manufacturing industry for the post-pandemic world.
