This requires humane and organizational efforts to change the work environment and methods to cope with the work updates, especially, the global updates make the organizations face several burdens in doing its works appropriately (Adisa et al., 2021). Thus, the organizations have shifted to the method of remote work under these challenges as the communication occurs in the virtual world (Szulc et al., 2022). This method depends on doing the functions in locations rather than the headquarter, realizes the cooperation and flexibility in the employees’ performance, the making use of technology in doing jobs easily, and controlling the management and operations (Arunprasad et al., 2022).

It significantly affects the relationship between the inputs and outputs and its distributions, and the relationship between suppliers, customers and distributers (Meehan, J. & Pinnington, 2021). Hence, the supply and supply chains are redesigned to face the challenge of meeting the demands and heading to the digital transformation too rapidly (Seepma et al., 2021).
