All sectors were affected as well as industrial sectors for both manufacturing and services. The business' operation has changed to comply with health protocols to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The impacts of the COVID-19 in the industry identified in this study were decreased income, supply chain disruption, the onset of free time at work, and implementation of health protocols. This impact caused changes in activities in the form of reduced working hours, reduction of workers, material and process efficiency, increased lead time and delays in distribution, physical distancing, activities to prevent exposure to COVID- 19, disinfection activities in companies, early detection of COVID- 19, and increased employee immunity. Strategies that can be carried out are building a commitment to maintaining discipline in implementing health protocols, utilizing digital technology (internet of things) to expand the market, and implementing a lean strategy to achieve efficiency or save resources.

Semua sektor terpengaruh salah satunya sektor industri, baik manufaktur maupun jasa. Operasi bisnis telah berubah untuk mematuhi protokol kesehatan untuk mencegah penyebaran virus corona. Dampak COVID-19 pada industri yang diidentifikasi dalam penelitian ini adalah penurunan pendapatan, gangguan rantai pasok, timbulnya waktu luang di tempat kerja, dan penerapan protokol kesehatan. Dampak tersebut menyebabkan perubahan aktivitas berupa pengurangan jam kerja, pengurangan pekerja, efisiensi material dan proses, peningkatan lead time dan keterlambatan distribusi, pengaturan jaga jarak, aktivitas pencegahan paparan COVID-19, aktivitas desinfeksi di perusahaan, deteksi dini COVID-19, dan meningkatkan kekebalan karyawan. Strategi yang dapat dilakukan adalah membangun komitmen untuk menjaga kedisiplinan dalam menerapkan protokol kesehatan, memanfaatkan teknologi digital (internet of things) untuk memperluas pasar, dan menerapkan strategi lean untuk mencapai efisiensi atau penghematan sumber daya.
