A supply chainis a system that combines a company's suppliers to produce and distribute a product or service. Producers, suppliers, warehouses, transportation firms, distribution centers, and retailers are all part of the supply chain.

Every product has its supply chain, which is used to efficiently handle product manufacturing and delivery. And maintaining the product's life and sustaining market demand to guarantee that the product is available at all stages of its life cycle, whether maturity or decline. Both are important for every product, but all of these tactics or actions should be carried out while keeping in mind the product's or supply change's environmental effect.

To reduce the impact of such a disruption, the company should take the following steps:

1. The company should look at how regional activities affect the facilities of suppliers and sub-suppliers.
2. Supply chain managers must achieve a balance between efficiency and effectiveness.
3. To limit the consequences of disruption, supply chain managers should be able to mix external and internal data and respond promptly.
