Resumo(s)
The world has experienced, from 2020 to the present, a widespread impact
arising from a pandemic crisis, which forced supply chains to be limited or
even suspended, generating important constraints from producers to sale
points. This situation created challenges for organizations and consumers
who were forced to look for solutions to satisfy their production and con sumption needs. The importance of this topic is related to the need to avoid
stock ruptures in supply chains such as those that happened with certain food
products in 2020 and 2021, which was reflected in shortages of some products
and inflation. The contribution in this work resided in, through scientific
methodology, identifying and prioritizing the most relevant preventive measures that allow responding to crisis situations such as the one that occurred
with the pandemic since 2020, or the one that takes place in 2022 with a
shortage of materials and high inflation. Thus, managers who work with supply chains and logistics are given a portfolio of solutions to adopt with a cer tain level of priority. We were able to reasonably conclude that only a part of
Portuguese companies are technologically prepared to respond to the new
challenges of supply chains, since the incorporation of computer systems and
integrators is far from being a majority of the mentioned universe. A minority of the organizations surveyed have prevention mechanisms in the management of supply chains, since the number of organizations that have, for
example, risk and contingency manuals, sales forecasting software, or even
simulation of the impact of disruptions in supply chain, is significantly reduced. Given the results obtained, and in hierarchical order of importance,
the TOP 3 measures considered most appropriate to prevent stock outs in the
event of disruptions in the supply chain in the food sector in Portugal are: to
prepare contingency and risk plans; diversify suppliers (Dual Sourcing); and
preventive risk budget (cap in case of crisis).
