Summary:

The COVID-19 pandemic caused businesses to assess and manage risk in their products/services and operations supply chains. The food and beverage companies were instantly and negatively impacted by the pandemic. In Vermont, restaurants and bars were closed for business for a short period, and afterward, they had to limit their services to curbside pickup and/or outdoor dining. The Vermont beverage companies that usually supplied these restaurants and bars, or "on-premise" accounts, had to pivot and formulate new process strategies to remain relevant and in operation during the pandemic. The descriptive case offers both secondary research and a first-hand account of four key players in Vermont's beverage supply chain as they identified and assessed risk factors experienced by the network at three different stages of the pandemic (initial, middle, and later period stages) and summarizes how they managed (i.e., adapted to, responded to, and recovered from) these key risk factors. The descriptive case is designed for undergraduate students studying operations management, supply chain management, and/or logistics. It is intended for use during a unit/section/chapter on supply chain risk management. The case can also be placed in a business strategy course during a section on the COVID-19 pandemic and company responses/strategic decisions during a crisis.
