Abstract

For this project, the studio changed the management of sources and products around the world
during the Covid-19 period. The aim of the study was to develop a two-pronged approach to data
collection using online search and document analysis to establish search definitions. This topic
was chosen because the recent expansion has affected all customers using different distribution
systems. To put it bluntly, examples of companies that have been considered, such as airlines,
employees and the service sector, will be at the heart of the research topic. This finding is
consistent with the research goals and suggests that COVID-19 significantly hampered
procurement work.
1.0 Introduction

1.1 Background
Five years ago, the largest gaming software company made updates to the Omni channel online.
With the support of an in-house designed service provider to promote advertising services, the
apparel industry plans to expand its online business. At the moment, the company's business is
probably the biggest problem. Fuel prices in Asia have fallen and the value of crop processing
has dropped to a two-year low due to fears of COVID injury. COVID-19 has damaged the global
economy and will take a long time to recover.

Common infectious causes and complications. Operational pressures are expected to lead to
higher delivery rates, closures and higher freight rates. However, this will not affect all sectors -
the e-commerce industry is growing, with consumers choosing to buy essential products online,
serving locations in other sectors (e.g. automobiles and e-commerce) is growing. There will be a
reduction in the goods). Barriers: Oil prices should give relief to those who suffer. In general,
weight uncertainty will follow.

The impact is devastating for small players: Small business cars are particularly vulnerable as
they rarely have temporary backups, schedule updates or leaderboards. Lack of technology, as
well as tools to monitor health (e.g. home delivery), hinder their response.
1.1.1 SAOC (Omani Integrated Logistics Services)
In the context of Omani Integrated Logistics Services, the data has been gathered to check the
impact of COVID-19 on the business Logistics in order to derived the consequences. The report
is intended to present the results and recommendations to the selected company.

1.2 Aims and Objectives

The objectives of this study are twofold.

1. Identify the impact on low investment worldwide due to recent diseases

2. Identify the assets and obligations of management companies to reduce sales processes and
management speed and control.

3. Learn how companies work for their employees when additional transportation and supplies
are needed during business hours.
4. Describe and describe the problems that organizations face with the use and communication of
COVID-19

5. Explain how these changes will affect production costs after CoVD-19.

1.3 Research Questions

The research questions related to this research are as follows,

1. Is there any influence on the development of the industry as a construction company even in
the last few years of operation?

2. How can the company have a high level of capital and investment in operational management
working on time?

3. What is the current management of the company in terms of logistics operations and
implementation?

4. Describe the negative effects of treatment on men and women in their work for COVID-19?

5. What is the current condition of the local logistics center-Covid-19?

2.0 Literature Review

Clearly, organizations face a major challenge in recovering from their illnesses. For now,
everything is ready and fast (Surico, 2020) Companies need to connect endless business
relationships with importers. event. Chuir Make a working ribbon to work with and hold power.
Image Stability is a large group of composite components that can be used efficiently in
everyday work, making it easy to rely on a clean channel (Tang, 2020) . Response to employee
misunderstandings reduces the prospect of increased employment. The incidence of influenza-
like diseases in the United States has increased in recent years with the number of patients
contracting influenza (He and Harris, 2020).

COVID-19 infection is now widespread. In fact, it soon became apparent that various problems
hindered travel and speed (Naci, 2020) Waiting for recovery can take several minutes in the
invisible state of a bodybuilder to make this body deeper. Building a strong company will focus
on long-term dialogue (Hann and Harris, 2020).

Today, the transportation industry is one of the fastest and most integrated companies in the
world. Digital design has made it possible to integrate information exchange systems with
applications. In such a crisis, companies can use these links and create near-term networks. The
timing and progression of infectious diseases cannot be overstated and may continue to have a
significant impact on the global supply chain (Vidya, 2020). However, the ever-evolving mobile
industry builds relationships and reduces flexibility and desire, and is thus well-prepared to
overcome the challenges we face when the company comes together (Gössling, 2020)
3.0 Research Methodology

For the undertaken study, the researcher will work on the following proposal,

3.1 Methodology
The methodology that is proposed to be adopted for the proposed research is of mixed nature.
Both the qualitative and quantitative.

3.2 Scope of the study

The Scope of the study is limited to the organization of SAOC in specific but it can be
generalised for the organizations having logistics overall. One can use the results and
recommendation to implement on any organization related to the business of underlying
organization.

3.3 Research Design

3.3.1 Question
This questionnaire was designed to make an initial assessment as the study was different. In
other words, quantitative analysis requires a data acquisition program; analysis of queries.

4.0 Analysis and Results

4.1 Qualitative Analysis
1) GDP and Trade Condition

Figure 1:

Interpretation
As we can see in the graph, the trade and GDP have been adversely affected by the hit of Corona
and there is a good room of stability in the future forecast but in the last quarter of 2020, this
seem to be still affected by the 2nd Wave of Corona.

2) Logistics Business and Revenues

Figure 2

Interpretation

The percentage changes on Annual basis suggests that there is a long way to go still in order to
recover the effects of novel virus.

3) Frequency of online orders and online shopping

Figure 3

Interpretation

There is significant increase in the online orders and shopping over the year as the disastrous
virus has restricted to every business to online therefore impact significantly on logistics.

Interpretation
The descriptive analysis shows the significant values of skewness and kurtosis of all the 5
variables i.e; demographics and dependent and independent. The means, standard deviations are
also significant in order to validate the descriptive of the variables.

Discussion of Histograms
The histograms shows a significant sharp movement of the frequency of data from the middle
axis in every graph lie there in the section. This shows that the frequencies have a good number
to justify in this case.
