The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted almost everything related to economic and livelihood activities. This review paper however aims at showing and assessing the negative impacts of Covid-19 over construction sector in India particularly. The construction sector in India being second highest employee intensive sector after agriculture. It had come to an abrupt halt in first quarter of FY2020-21 and this resulted in stopping of supply chain management, major infrastructural projects of government and private entities, different cement, steel and other construction material manufacturing units. Further it resulted in sudden unemployment over millions of Indian employees and workers, in both organized and unorganized sectors related to construction businesses. The lockdown gave rise to many unfair practices in the business of supply chain, one of which is the stockpiling of cement and steel in the initial period of strict lockdown, hence the prices soared up in short time. That’s why estimates of major projects also rose up. On the other hand, the rates of real estates have gone down invariably due to cash crunch in the economy. All these effects and causes are dealt with in this research paper using authentic data in the public domain

Purpose This paper aims to generate novel insights in supply chain management by reviewing studies related to counterfeiting and piracy issues with a particular emphasis on theoretical works. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review of more than 100 peer-reviewed academic papers is conducted. The authors first introduce the social acceptance of counterfeiting and piracy to explain the existence of these illegal products. After that, they focus on the negative effect of counterfeiting and piracy on supply chain management and society while mentioning their positive and normative effects carefully under certain circumstances. Findings People have been attempting to reveal the impacts of counterfeiting and piracy on customers, licit firms, industry sectors, governments and the society as a whole. The negative impacts of counterfeiting and piracy on legal firms and licit supply chains is examined thoroughly in the literature; however, benefits from counterfeiting and piracy are also pointed out. Additionally, researchers are interested in firms’ reactions toward this phenomenon. Based on heuristics from the above analysis, it is fruitful to conduct this research in a theme of supply chain management. Originality/value Most studies on counterfeiting and piracy are not from a supply chain management perspective and mainly focus on their effect on consumers or a single firm. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is one of few studies that incorporate the key aspects of counterfeiting and piracy into supply chain management and also highlight several important directions for future research in the sense of supply chain.

Supply Chain Management System

Nowadays, the authenticity of the RFID tags cannot be assured in the supply chain since these can be easily duplicated in the public space. We propose a novel Product Ownership Management System (POMS) of products for anti-counterfeits that can be used in the post supply chain by using the QR code. With the projected POMS, a consumer can reject the buying of counterfeits by scanning a QR code, if the seller does not have their proprietorship. This paper gives an application of the system that will help to overcome the problems related with the presently functioning supply chain management system and runs the mechanism to show the ownership of the products.

PurposeBlockchain technology is provoking significant disruptions, thereby affecting supply chain management. This study endeavoured to advance research regarding blockchain-based supply chain traceability by identifying the opportunities and limitations that accompany the adoption of public blockchains. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to contribute to contemporary supply chain research by an assessment of blockchain technology and its linkages to traceability.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is conceptual. The authors summarised the relevant literature on the concepts of supply chain traceability, conceptualised key elements exclusive to the public blockchain and highlighted opportunities and limitations in implementing traceability using blockchains.FindingsIncompatibilities were identified between general traceability and the public blockchain. However, when embracing the blockchain's privacy model, the blockchains can support information exchange in supply chains where vulnerability towards third parties, the confidentiality of information, or the privacy of participants are concerns. Furthermore, the public blockchain can support areas of supply chains where institutional interest is lacking.Originality/valueThis is one of the first papers in an international supply chain management journal to critically analyse the intersection of specific blockchain characteristics and supply chain traceability requirements. The authors thereby add to the discussion of designs for a disintermediated, peer-to-peer models and guide researchers and practitioners alike in exploring the application of disruptive change from blockchain technologies. By setting focus on the privacy model, the paper identifies the potential application and future research approaches to exploit the elementary strength of the blockchain.

Planning Models

This chapter focuses on the hierarchical planning and execution for supply chain management in public healthcare services. The authors first introduce tiered organizational and services delivery structure of public healthcare services followed by various supply chain issues that public healthcare services encounters. They then review hierarchical planning and execution discussions for the strategic, tactical, and operational decisions in supply chain literature. They continue the discussion with public healthcare services cases on medicine and equipment maintenance supply chains. They compare hierarchical planning execution discussions in supply chain management literature vis-a-vis healthcare services cases. Their main argument is that much can be gained by the public healthcare services by striving for reduced information asymmetry and employing appropriate functional aggregation at various levels of the hierarchically organized public healthcare supply chains.

The current issue of the Indonesian people is that there is a discussion about the discourse of moving the new capital city.  The process of moving capital city requires a lot of qualified human and material resources, but whether we can see whether it is possible for the capital city to move in a very short time. Logistics and supply chains are two things that are not separated in the process of moving goods and services. Supply chain management in the construction of new capital city includes material, heavy equipment, human resource   services and suppliers. The objective of this research is to develop the framework of supply chain performance measurement using SCOR method. Through SCOR research, can be traced anywhere that needs to produce more in terms of human resources and materials needed in the future, then the government needs to build a framework of indicators that must be achieved and targeted.

Negative Impacts

PT. XYZ is one of the companies engaged in the salt processing industry in Indonesia. The development of this industry, in addition to having a positive impact on the economy also has the potential for negative impacts on the environment if not managed properly. This condition is inseparable from the production process which produces many defects and rejects. One way to reduce these negative impacts is by measuring performance that is integrated with the environment (Green Supply Chain Management). The researcher uses the green SCOR model which refers to the SCOR (Supply Chain Operation Reference) model from the Supply Chain Council to identify green supply chain management performance indicators. Then use AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) to determine the level of importance of green supply chain management performance indicators. There are six categories of processes used in measuring the performance of green supply chain management, namely plan, source, make, deliver, return and waste management, but research is focused on the make process that focuses on the salt production process. The results of measurements indicate that the value of the performance of green supply chain management of PT. XYZ in 2017 amounted to 75.4 and 2018 amounted to 72.3 is still below 80 even though it is nearing the target but is still being controlled and efforts are made to improve. But when in 2019 it decreased to 46.6 which shows far below the target and needs to be done immediately. As for the 17 performance indicators measured, there are 9 performance indicators that need to be improved, namely reusable material, the number of machine troubles, the number of process rejects, recycleable rejects, the amount of waste, the amount of product defects, recycleable defects, production costs and waste handling costs.

Public Healthcare Sector

The healthcare supply chain is a complex adaptive ecosystem that facilitates the delivery of health products to the end patient in a cost-effective way. However, low forecast accuracy and high demand volatility in healthcare supply chains have resulted in an increase in stockouts, operational inefficiencies, poor health outcomes, and a significant increase in supply chain costs. To cope with these challenges, organisations are trying to adopt demand-driven supply chain management (DDSCM) operating practices which have been established in other sectors such as the telecommunications, fruit, and flower industries. However, previous studies have not considered these practices in the healthcare industry, and hence no methodologies exist that support the implementation of these practices in this context. Moreover, current studies present cases where the focus has been on improving and expanding individual organisational performance, but no supply chain network-level studies exist on the healthcare industry. Therefore, this paper provides a network-level analysis when addressing DDSCM in the healthcare industry. A grounded theory-based approach coupled with a conceptual framework analysis process was used to leverage a systematized literature review methodology with the development of a network maturity mapping tool for DDSCM which was validated in the public healthcare sector.
