The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak shows that pandemics and epidemics can seriously wreak havoc on supply chains (SC) around the globe. Humanitarian logistics literature has extensively studied epidemic impacts; however, there exists a research gap in understanding of pandemic impacts in commercial SCs. To progress in this direction, we present a systematic analysis of the impacts of epidemic outbreaks on SCs guided by a structured literature review that collated a unique set of publications. The literature review findings suggest that influenza was the most visible epidemic outbreak reported, and that optimization of resource allocation and distribution emerged as the most popular topic. The streamlining of the literature helps us to reveal several new research tensions and novel categorizations/classifications. Most centrally, we propose a framework for operations and supply chain management at the times of COVID-19 pandemic spanning six perspectives, i.e., adaptation, digitalization, preparedness, recovery, ripple effect, and sustainability. Utilizing the outcomes of our analysis, we tease out a series of open research questions that would not be observed otherwise. Our study also emphasizes the need and offers directions to advance the literature on the impacts of the epidemic outbreaks on SCs framing a research agenda for scholars and practitioners working on this emerging research stream.
冠状病毒（COVID-19）疫情表明，大流行和流行病会严重破坏全球供应链。人道主义物流文献广泛研究了疫情的影响；然而，在理解商业供应链中的大流行影响方面存在研究空白。为了朝这个方向取得进展，我们在结构化文献综述的指导下，对疫情爆发对供应链的影响进行了系统分析，该综述整理了一组独特的出版物。文献综述结果表明，流感是报道最多的疫情爆发，资源分配和配送的优化成为最热门的话题。文献的梳理有助于我们揭示一些新的研究矛盾和新颖的分类。最核心的是，我们提出了一个在COVID-19大流行时期的运营和供应链管理框架，涵盖六个视角，即适应性、数字化、准备、恢复、连锁反应和可持续性。利用我们的分析结果，我们梳理出一系列否则无法观察到的开放性研究问题。我们的研究还强调了推进关于疫情爆发对供应链影响的文献的必要性，并为从事这一新兴研究领域的学者和从业者制定研究议程提供了方向。
