The COVID-19 pandemic shocked the global economy, laying bare the coordination challenges and vulnerabilities of global value chains (GVCs) across sectors. Governments, consumers, and firms alike have called for greater GVC resilience to ensure critical products are delivered to the right place, at the right time, and in the right condition. This article investigates whether GVC reconfiguration through the adoption of redistributed manufacturing (RDM) in local production can deliver greater resilience against unexpected, disruptive global events. It proposes actionable steps for managers to ensure more resilient GVCs in the face of global shocks.

COVID-19 大流行震惊了全球经济，暴露了跨部门全球价值链 (GVC) 的协调挑战和脆弱性。政府、消费者和企业都呼吁增强全球价值链的弹性，以确保关键产品在正确的时间和正确的条件下交付到正确的地点。本文研究通过在本地生产中采用再分配制造 (RDM) 来重新配置 GVC 是否可以提供更大的弹性以应对意外的破坏性全球事件。它为管理人员提出了可行的步骤，以确保在全球冲击面前更具弹性的全球价值链。
