Abstract

This study focuses on the path to enhance the resilience of China's manufacturing supply chain after the pandemic. Taking BYD as a typical case, it constructs a four-dimensional evaluation system of "Resistance-Adaptability and Recovery-Autonomous Control-Government Support" (RACG). This study aims to identify the core elements of supply chain resilience and strategies adopted by manufacturing enterprises of different scales and industries in response to disruptions such as geopolitical sanctions, material shortages, and price volatility. This paper empirically verifies the effectiveness of the optimization strategies by studying the interview content of relevant manufacturing and conducting a comparative analysis with other manufacturing enterprises and answer three core questions regarding supply chain resilience in the manufacturing industry. The research shows that: ① BYD achieves control over key links through the autonomy of core technologies; ② The diversified layout of the supply chain reduces the impact of external risks; ③ The agile transformation of production significantly improves the efficiency of crisis response, and its production capacity recovery performance is better than the industry benchmark; In addition, the coordination of policy resources strengthens short-term emergency response capabilities.
