Abstract Views: 51

The aim of the study is to examine the correlation between Logistic
performance and Supply Chain resilience and with COVID-19 as
moderator. Quantitative research was conducted for this study which
questionnaire was adapted from (World Bank LPI_2018_Questionaitre) 12
number of respondents were responded on the closed ended questionnaire.
The theory of constraint, the strength of the supply chain link that can
dictate the effectiveness and efficiency of the supply chain partnership and
the ultimate success of the supply chain. According to the results, positive
relationship exists between the Logistics performance and Supply Chain
Resilience. A very weakening effect was observed on COVID-19 pandemic
as moderator. The results of hypothesis indicated that H1 Logistics
performance index plays a substantial role in enhancing the supply chain
resilience and H2 Covid-19 significantly moderates relationship of logistics
performance index and supply chain resilience.
