    Study Notes

    Supply Chain Resilience: The ADDAPT Framework

    • Supply Chain Disruptions: The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the vulnerability of supply chains, with only 16% of organizations having emergency response centers.
    • ADDAPT Framework: A framework for managing supply disruptions, encompassing six critical capabilities: anticipate, detect, diagnose, activate, protect, and track.
    • Anticipate: Leveraging past disruptions and future-foresight through simulations, drills, and stakeholder input (e.g., employee concerns, scenario planning).
      • Actions: Encourage triggers sharing, formalize procedures, establish learning labs, conduct drills, and hold regular retreats.
    • Detect: Setting up alerts (trip wires) for deviations in product flows, prioritizing high-risk products and flows to aid rapid responses.
      • Actions: Encourage trigger reporting, inform stakeholders, connect alerts to communication protocols, formalize communication systems, and create accessible dashboards.
    • Diagnose: Analyzing data from supply disruptions to isolate the triggering risks and develop timely and efficient solutions.
      • Actions: Provide support for problem-solving, engage external stakeholders, and include external opinions.
    • Activate: Mobilizing resources to implement solutions under urgency.
      • Actions: Track location of materials/personnel/info., provide access and authorization, deploy standby teams, formalize relationships with alternative suppliers, and document and share plans.
    • Protect: Preventing future disruptions through learning from past experiences.
      • Actions: Review and adapt solutions from recent disruptions, update processes, share plans, and conduct war games.
    • Track: Continuously monitoring leading indicators of disruptions.
      • Actions: Invest in personnel and tracking systems, provide decision-support dashboards, define and monitor leading indicators, and map baseline indicators.

    Loblaw's Experience with COVID-19

    • Loblaw's Situation: Canada's largest supermarket chain, with over 2,400 stores and 20 distribution centers.
    • Initial Responses: COVID-19 recognized as a health concern initially; later recognized as a supply chain disruption.
    • Challenges: Lack of foresight for widespread disruptions like pandemics or natural disasters; emergency plans not covering broader risks, difficulty coordinating and activating solutions across logistics network, and no playbook for restoring product flows.
    • Response during Disruption: Assembled a task force, used demand management systems for prediction, relied on past experience for diagnostics, and implemented adjustments, including alternative sources, inventory triage, and reduced choices to maintain volume.
    • Lessons Learned: Systems for detecting and monitoring external events & identifying alternative carriers and suppliers, and formalized communication with vendors are vital.

    Practical Implications

    • Strategic Function: Supply chain management should be a strategic, senior-level function, supported by advanced technology and data analysis.
    • Proactiveness: Organizations need to predict and proactively respond to supply disruptions rather than simply reacting.
    • Collaboration: Supply chains should work together to address emerging risks and anticipate disruptions beyond individual companies' oversight.
    • Emergency Plans: Companies must develop and test plans for dealing with various supply disruption scenarios, using prioritized checklists and readily available alternative sources for critical materials and expertise.
