“…Supply disruptions are extraordinary situations that result from the occurrence of triggering events leading to a significant threat to the maintenance of operations for affected organizations (Wagner and Bode, 2009). Hereby, the generic term of disruption can be specified to certain types, such as crisis, disaster or emergency (Tandler and Essig, 2013). A crisis represents an undesired event seriously threatening the continuity of an organization (Müller, 1982) and usually having a long period of incubation (Tandler and Essig, 2013).…”

“…Hereby, the generic term of disruption can be specified to certain types, such as crisis, disaster or emergency (Tandler and Essig, 2013). A crisis represents an undesired event seriously threatening the continuity of an organization (Müller, 1982) and usually having a long period of incubation (Tandler and Essig, 2013). A disaster and an emergency can both be described as a serious unforeseeable disruption with an event with a low probability of occurrence and a high impact.…”

“…Several overlapping concepts, such as supply risk, business continuity, safety, disruption, disaster, emergency or crisis management; supply chain vulnerability; and resilience, handle the minimization of damage caused by disruptions. Those concepts are established for either certain parts of an organization, the full organization, parts of the supply chain, supply chain level or on a societal level (Tandler and Essig, 2013) on which a strict delimitation is not possible. Additionally, the concepts differ by either having a preventive approach for protecting the supply system from disruptions with mitigation tactics in advance (ex ante) or by reacting to a disruption after it has occurred (ex post).…”

“…The prevention approach aims to minimize the probability of disruptions (e.g. through supplier auditing and certifications or data back-ups; Tandler and Essig, 2013). This approach becomes impossible for procurement organizations in a global pandemic and is, therefore, excluded from the analysis.…”

“…Accordingly, this paper provides insights into how the sourcing relationship in the cases is established and how it helped in responding to the disruption. Additionally, the knowledge gained from each supply disruption represents an increase in resiliency for the procurement organization (Tandler and Essig, 2013). With this research, we provide knowledge for future disruptions.…”

Purpose The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has had severe effects on economies worldwide and, in particular, on public institutions that must keep their operations running while supply chains are interrupted. The purpose of this study is to examine how public institutions act during a pandemic to ensure the security of supply. Design/methodology/approach The distinct focus is if, why and how public institutions have adopted additive manufacturing (AM) – a production technology colloquially known as three-dimensional printing in which a product is created by joining raw material layer by layer based on a digital model (computer-aided design [CAD] file) of the product – in reaction to supply disruptions caused by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. For this purpose, four cases within the context of the pandemic supply disruption are used as the units of analysis. Findings The findings are twofold: public institutions reacted, on the one hand, with a behavioral solution approach, trying to solve the supply disruption with new or changed forms of cooperation and collaboration. On the other hand, public institutions used a technical solution approach (TSA) as a supply disruption response and intensified their use of AM. Research limitations/implications This research derives an implications model that focuses on the TSA. Considering the ex ante and ex post phases of the disruption, several effects of AM on resilience are identified. The most relevant is the long-term learning effect (i.e. AM data created during this disruption might also help in a new disruption). Practical implications Practitioners who act under extreme pressure and uncertainty are informed by cases that have managed to close bottleneck situations with either a behavioral or TSA. Specific strategies are given for how public buyers could use AM within a pandemic situation to mitigate supply bottlenecks, such as increasing their robustness by localizing sourcing and increasing agility by combining traditional and additive supply sources. Additionally, insights are provided into how public organizations can increase their level of preparedness by including disruption paragraphs, establishing CAD databases, in contract clauses and keeping reserve contracts with AM service providers. Originality/value This research contrasts behavioral and technical solution concepts for a pandemic in the public sector. Thus, it provides insights into the relative benefits of AM and causes and effect with regard to how AM affects supply robustness and agility.

The topic of supply network disruption recovery has started to receive great attention within the academic as well as the business world. This is due to increasingly complex supply networks and the rise of natural and man-made disasters in quantity and severity. In this paper, the topic is approached in an interdisciplinary bio-inspired way. The transferability of biological self-healing principles to the recovery of supply network disruptions is analysed and first propositions are derived. A single case study of the Japanese microcontroller company Renesas Electronics is analysed with regard to the developed propositions. A strategically important plant of Renesas was severely damaged by the triple disaster in Japan in 2011 which led to a disruption of the company's supply network. Five out of six propositions regarding the transferability of biological self-healing are, at least partly, proven. Furthermore, the importance of close collaboration within a network of suppliers, customers and competitors is emphasized. The results make further research in this academically still underdeveloped field promising, especially with regard to implications and strategies for supply chain risk managers.
