Abstract:
The importance of improving supply chain resilience (SCR) has been
underscored by the COVID-19 pandemic and the interconnected nature of global
supply chains. This research seeks to explore how companies can implement recovery
strategies to tackle significant supply chain disruptions. Using qualitative
methodology, particularly focusing on the construction department at a company
operating in Albania, as well as “Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy of Albania”
(MIE), the study examines challenges faced and strategies implemented by Albanian
construction companies. Interviews with supply chain executives/stakeholders within
the company and MIE specialists, were concluded to gather data. The results highlight
the specific difficulties encountered by Albanian construction companies amid global
disruptions and illuminate their responsive approaches. This research aims to identify
the major challenges faced by Albanian companies, in terms of resilience of their
supply chain, in order to suggest a final framework for companies in the construction
industry, offering actionable insights and recommendations for enhancing overall
supply chain resilience
