A CRISE DA COVID-19 COMO REVELADORA DAS FRAGILIDADES INTRÍNSECAS ÀS CADEIAS DE SUPRIMENTOS E PROPOSTAS DE INOVAÇÃO - ISN E VSC

This article promotes a theoretical discussion regarding the potential risks and vulnerabilities present in supply chains, exposed in the context of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The objective is to analyze the proposals of several authors regarding the best measures to be taken by companies and governments in the face of similar future crises. The article then describes and analyzes two new theories for supply chain models: ISN and VSC, where through a comparative analysis, it was possible to identify that the viability of the ISN model focuses on facilitating the flow of products and services through the flexibilization of functions performed along the supply chains, encompassing a wider number of organizations, while the VSC model aims to optimize resource redirection in order to better adapt organizations in the face of different critical scenarios, requiring greater investments. To reach these results, articles and reports published within the period from February to August 2020 were used, which discuss the many repercussions arising from the COVID-19 crisis, which is still ongoing.
