Manufacturers Retooling During The Pandemic: COVID-19 Case Study

Summary

The Coronavirus outbreak has disrupted global trade, and triggered huge demand for sanitation, disease protection, and medical goods. Until demand subsides and international supply chains are restored, the only viable option for governments is to compel manufacturers of non-essential goods to retool to produce essential products during the crisis.

This report is part of the publisher's COVID-19 Case Study series, which analyses specific examples of consumer sentiment, lifestyles, attitudes, and behaviors stemming from the global coronavirus outbreak. It focuses on how manufacturers can adapt their production lines to help bridge supply gaps during the pandemic.
