EVALUATING RESILIENCE IN COMMERCIAL AIRLINES THROUGH SUPPLY CHAIN FLEXIBILITY IN THE PRE & POST COVID-19 WORLD: APPLYING THE SUPPLY CHAIN FLEXIBILITY RATIO

PI Stephanie Douglas

Measuring supply chain flexibility in the Airline – Mainline Passenger industry.

This study investigates the relationship between factors of supply chain flexibility that may explain the success of some airline companies throughout various shocks and most recently the COVID-19 pandemic. The study focuses on the viability of the underlying supply chain models within major U.S. airline companies. Specifically, the study explores supply chain flexibility as a component of the Supply Chain Operations Reference metrics. Multiple regressions were performed and found the Supply Chain Flexibility Ratio being a predictive value of supply chain flexibility p< .05 and indicating supply chain flexibility which can be used as an indicator of organizational resilience in the Airline – Mainline Passenger industry.
