Automation refers to application areas in which human input is lowered. This would include automation, IT automation, and individual applications such as automation, among other things. Supply chain mechanization uses digitalization to achieve the optimal, connect applications and streamline processes within supply chain operations.

Abstract
Due to COVID-19, the supply chains were disrupted in many ways. This chapter aims to identify the strategies that can help the industries develop a resilient supply chain that can handle any kind of disruption. Five strategies are determined from the literature review. A questionnaire is being developed for survey-based research in four types of industries. The industries that are targeted are automobile industries, garment industries, steel industries, cement industries. For data analysis, exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modelling are used. In this research, an empirical investigation is carried out to present the research framework. All the proposed hypotheses are accepted, and the developed model satisfied all the parameters.
