Statement of the Problem

This study aims to determine the negative impact of Covid-19 restrictions on supply chain management

within Olongapo City. Since most people, these days prefer buying online, and the goods were mostly

from other countries through this study, the researchers will be able to identify negative factors of Covid-

19 restrictions which made an impact on the overall performance of the supply chains in Olongapo City.

2. Who will lead the repair and maintenance of private facilities, and assist in information

management?

3. Who is most affected by the disrupted supply chain?

4. Who aims to provide a menu of solutions to address gaps in Logistics capacities?

5. What can we do today and in the future to “immunize” our local supply chains in cases of partial

disruptions?

6. What sector is recommended to be part of any government policy effort in managing the effects

of Covid 19 in the flow of goods and services?

Statement of the significance of the study

The finding of this study is to aim to provide crucial information and knowledge regarding the chosen

topic. The purpose of this study is to create solutions, and what actions are needed to immunize the local

supply chains in cases of partial disruptions. These models attempt to approximate reality, but the basic

insight and takeaway are that all of these systems are interconnected, and should recognize these tightly-

coupled interdependencies whenever policies and decisions are made that may affect a large segment of

society. The objectives are to replenish critical inventories and create money flow in the system to relieve

consumers who intend to buy basic goods.
