Abstract

The pandemic crisis of Covid-19 recalled the strategic nature of logistics and supply chain management (SCM) for all sectors of activity. It also stressed the importance of having robust and resilient supply chains (SCs). The article begins by demonstrating why Covid-19 better justifies the need to articulate robustness and resilience than any previous crisis. It then explains, in the light of the literature, why it is not so simple to think and to develop jointly robustness and resilience. The illustrations from the Covid-19 crisis provide elements of response that lead to propose a framework to move forward from controversy to a dialogic approach. The conclusion discusses the theoretical and managerial contributions and opens up avenues for research and reflection that go beyond logistics and SCM.
