Uncertainty regulation and adaptable supply chain planning
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Purpose Supply chain planning (SCP) as an important management intervention is highly relevant to operations and supply chain practice. While SCP processes have developed over time with the use of integrative and advanced analytics tools, the essential foundation and focus on restoring stability remain unchanged and limit the capacity of SCP to adapt to uncertainty. We aim to address this limitation and the way forward in research and practice of SCP through adaptable supply chain planning (ASCP). Design/methodology/approach Drawing on the current discourse on uncertainty regulation and SCP foundations and assumptions, a typology of SCP uncertainty and respective planning strategies are conceptualized. Findings To elevate SCP to account for today's volatile environment, we put forward various forms of uncertainty that organizations face with respect to their awareness and understanding of threats from uncertainty. We also consider how conditions require simultaneously using different planning strategies and navigating between the strategies to regulate the uncertainty, not only to mitigate it but also to create opportunities for progress and growth. Originality/value We propose a new ASCP paradigm with foundational principles, planning strategies and layers of potential research avenues.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
