The focus of this Special Issue is on the stress-test methods for supply chain design and development of reconfigurable and adaptable supply chain designs rather than on probability prediction and anticipation of disruptions. We pose that in the “new normal” setting of a mega-crisis, supply chain design optimization should be driven by ideas of shock-resistance, viability, survivability, and adaptability creating an ability to operate and survive under severe shocks through embedded adaptability. We consider optimization and simulation methodologies to be best suited for research related to this Special Issue; however, other methodologies can also be considered if they account for some real-life context and are in line with IJPR policy (real-life context, rigor methodology, contribution to the ongoing theoretical debate, and managerial insights).
