Abstract

Several noteworthy scenarios emerged in the global textile and fashion supply chains during the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russo-Ukraine war. The destabilizing influences of a global pandemic and a geographically localized conflict are being acutely noticed in the worldwide fashion and textile supply chains. This work examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russo-Ukraine conflict on supply chains within the textile and fashion industry. This research employed a content analysis method to identify relevant articles and news from sources such as Google Scholar, the Summon database of North Carolina State University, and the scholarly news portal NexisUni. The selected papers, news articles, and reports provide a comprehensive overview of the fashion, textile, and apparel supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, accompanied by discussions from common supply chain perspectives. Disruptions due to COVID-19 include international brands and retailers canceling orders, closures of stores and factories in developing countries, layoffs, and furloughs of workers in both retail stores and supplier factories, the increased prominence of online and e-commerce businesses, the growing importance of automation and digitalization in the fashion supply chain, considerations of sustainability, and the need for a resilient supply chain system to facilitate post-pandemic recovery. In the case of the Russo-Ukraine war, the second-order effects of the conflict have had a more significant impact on the textile supply chain than the direct military operations themselves. In addition to these topics, the study delves into the potential strategies for restoring and strengthening the fashion supply chain. It synthesizes insights from the latest literature to guide future research in understanding and addressing the challenges fashion supply chains face in the COVID-19 era. Overall, this study offers valuable insights that can inform future endeavors in researching and improving the fashion supply chain in the context of the ongoing pandemic and war in Ukraine.

Abstract

COVID-19 pandemisi ve Rusya-Ukrayna savaşı sırasında küresel tekstil ve moda tedarik zincirlerinde dikkat çekici senaryolar ortaya çıkmıştır. Küresel bir pandeminin ve coğrafi olarak sınırlı bir çatışmanın yarattığı istikrarsızlaştırıcı etkiler, dünya çapındaki moda ve tekstil tedarik zincirlerinde keskin bir şekilde hissedilmektedir. Bu çalışma, COVID-19 pandemisi ve Rusya-Ukrayna savaşının tekstil ve moda endüstrisindeki tedarik zincirleri üzerindeki etkisini incelemektedir. Araştırmada, Google Scholar, North Carolina State Üniversitesi'nin Summon veritabanı ve akademik haber portalı NexisUni gibi kaynaklardan ilgili makale ve haberleri belirlemek için içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Seçilen makaleler, haberler ve raporlar, pandemi ve Ukrayna savaşı nedeniyle moda, tekstil ve hazır giyim tedarik zincirinde meydana gelen aksaklıkları kapsamlı bir şekilde ele almakta ve yaygın tedarik zinciri perspektifleri çerçevesinde tartışmalar sunmaktadır.
COVID-19'un yol açtığı aksaklıklar arasında uluslararası marka ve perakendecilerin sipariş iptalleri, gelişmekte olan ülkelerde mağaza ve fabrika kapanmaları, perakende mağazalarında ve tedarikçi fabrikalarda çalışan işçilerin işten çıkarılması veya ücretsiz izne ayrılması, çevrimiçi ve e-ticaret işletmelerinin artan önemi, moda tedarik zincirinde otomasyon ve dijitalleşmenin giderek daha fazla benimsenmesi, sürdürülebilirlik konuları ve pandemi sonrası toparlanmayı kolaylaştıracak dayanıklı bir tedarik zinciri sistemine duyulan ihtiyaç yer almaktadır.
Rusya-Ukrayna savaşı bağlamında ise, doğrudan askeri operasyonlardan ziyade savaşın ikinci dereceden etkileri tekstil tedarik zincirinde daha büyük bir etkiye sahip olmuştur. Bu konulara ek olarak, çalışma moda tedarik zincirinin yeniden yapılandırılması ve güçlendirilmesi için potansiyel stratejileri de incelemektedir. Mevcut literatürden elde edilen bulgular sentezlenerek, COVID-19 dönemi boyunca moda tedarik zincirlerinin karşılaştığı zorlukları anlamaya ve çözüm üretmeye yönelik gelecekteki araştırmalara rehberlik edecek bilgiler sunulmaktadır. Genel olarak, bu çalışma, devam eden pandemi ve Ukrayna savaşı bağlamında moda tedarik zincirinin araştırılması ve iyileştirilmesine yönelik değerli içgörüler sağlamaktadır.
