Epidemics have been posing significant challenges to health, existence, and continuity. From the emergence of an outbreak to its elimination, managing an epidemic/pandemic entails many operations and supply chain management decisions that can contribute to a lessening of its impact. With these decisions, epidemic-/pandemic-imposed challenges related to forecasting, planning, supply, manufacturing, storage, and transportation can be addressed in an effort to curtail and end the epidemic/pandemic. We have witnessed these disruptions first-hand during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had a destructive effect on many well-established supply chains, threatening the existence of firms. The role of operations and supply chain management is thus pivotal for navigating epidemics/pandemics. Against this background, we present a systematic literature review on the role of operations and supply chain management during epidemics and pandemics, illustrating its potential and calling for future research. Leveraging bibliographic coupling analysis, we identify major research areas and contributions that serve as a foundation to propel these domains forward. We further critically review these research areas, identifying multiple themes of which many have been perennially relevant, while others have come to the fore only recently due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our review provides an integrative view of the field, concurrently advancing theory, and offering ten distinct future research directions. Overall, this paper is meant to serve as a starting point for researchers in operations and supply chain management aiming to investigate this increasingly important domain.

流行病一直对健康、生存和连续性构成重大挑战。从爆发的出现到消除，管理流行病/大流行需要做出许多有助于减轻其影响的运营和供应链管理决策。通过这些决定，可以解决与预测、计划、供应、制造、储存和运输相关的流行病/大流行病带来的挑战，以努力遏制和结束流行病/大流行病。我们在 COVID-19 大流行期间亲眼目睹了这些中断，这对许多完善的供应链产生了破坏性影响，威胁到公司的生存。因此，运营和供应链管理的作用对于应对流行病/大流行病至关重要。在这样的背景下，我们对流行病和流行病期间运营和供应链管理的作用进行了系统的文献回顾，说明了其潜力并呼吁未来进行研究。利用书目耦合分析，我们确定了作为推动这些领域向前发展的基础的主要研究领域和贡献。我们进一步批判性地审查了这些研究领域，确定了多个主题，其中许多主题长期相关，而其他主题直到最近才因 COVID-19 大流行而脱颖而出。我们的评论提供了该领域的综合观点，同时推进了理论，并提供了十个不同的未来研究方向。总的来说，本文旨在为运营和供应链管理领域的研究人员提供一个起点，以研究这一日益重要的领域。
