Currently, the significance of managing the supply chain and its impact on the performance of a business cannot be ignored. Improving supply chain productivity is becoming an essential goal for any company involved in manufacturing or service delivery. In today's world of rapid change and fierce competition, companies must be prepared for market challenges and other unexpected external changes. The full-scale war in Ukraine has resulted in a crisis that has had a profound impact on various sectors of the country, including industry, technology, economy, and humanitarian aspects. Furthermore, it has brought about substantial changes in the operations of supply chains of logistics companies.
