Resilience Framework
Supply Chain Risk & Resilience Framework
Mitigating disruption across sourcing, logistics, and clinical operations for wholesale medical supply programs.
Risk Identification
- Vendor concentration, geopolitical exposure, single-source SKUs.
- Logistics bottlenecks (port congestion, weather events).
- Clinical demand spikes (pandemics, regional outbreaks).

Resilience Pillars
- Diversify: Dual-source critical categories, maintain backup suppliers vetted by LAC Health.
- Buffer: Set dynamic safety stock and surge reserves by category criticality.
- Sense: Leverage predictive analytics for early warning on shortages.
- Respond: Pre-define playbooks for allocation, substitution, and communication.
Governance
- Establish cross-functional risk council (supply chain, clinical, finance, IT).
- Run quarterly tabletop exercises simulating disruptions.
- Maintain scorecards for supplier health, including ESG and cyber risk.

Technology Enablement
- Integrate ERP data with LAC Health inventory positions for visibility.
- Use AI to recommend substitutions or reroute shipments.
- Deploy control towers to monitor KPIs (fill rate, lead time variance).
Key Metrics
- Time to recover (TTR) per category.
- Inventory at risk (% tied to single-source suppliers).
- Service level maintained during disruptions.
