The article aims to provide a review about the main arguments of the discourse regarding the potential transformation, sustainability and survival of global production networks and systems, partly due to the change in economic strategy following the COVID-19 pandemic, relate to the conditions of modern production methods. in the light of external turbulences such as trade war and the increasing geopolitical tensions. Putting production and supply systems on a scientific footing unfolded in the 20th century, and by the end of the century the global economy was spreading around on the globe. The study also reviews the major plant-level production systems and production philosophical methods, examining how they are exposed to different types of turbulence, how vulnerable they are to the supply disruptions caused by COVID-19, as they are the building blocks of the global production system. With the characteristics and vulnerabilities of production systems in mind, we review and examine the main arguments for and against the survival and robustness of global, long supply chains. Furthermore, the arguments have been made for and against the rise of reshoring, regionalization and localization. We will then evaluate them after considering the global trends, economic strategic objectives, and ongoing geopolitical processes. The extent to which the global production system based on long, complex crosscontinental, supply chains may change and the scope for shortening supply chains is still uncertain, but the turbulence caused by the trade war, the COVID-19 epidemic, rising geopolitical tensions and in addition to more expensive transport, given the Russia-Ukraine conflict since early 2022 and its economic consequences, it seems likely that the lines of force in world trade could be significantly redrawn during the next decade.
