Overview of methodological process
| Process | What | How | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theoretical exploration | Literature review | Exploration and determination of resilience operationalization and aspects of contextualizing resilience to the CI setting. Keywords used: supply chain resilience, risk, disruption, CI, NAT, HRT; from there on snowballing | ||
| Empirical exploration | Data collection | 3 Focus Groups | Asset Manager, Maintenance Team Leader North, Maintenance Team Leader East, Maintenance Planner East, Maintenance Planner North | 60 min |
| Asset Manager, Lean Facilitator, Head of Maintenance Distribution, Head of Purchasing and Logistics, Maintenance Team Leader East | 90 min | |||
| Asset Manager, Head of Maintenance Distribution, Head of Purchasing and Logistics | 60 min | |||
| 4 Interviews | Asset Manager | 120 min | ||
| Head of Maintenance Distribution, Head of Purchasing and Logistics, Head of Water Supply | About 60 min each | |||
| Data analysis | Focused on understanding the context and objectives of the maintenance supply network and its re-organization. Based upon these insights, an interview protocol was developed for the next step, we were able to identify all stakeholders that were important for the main data collection and we decided to focus on re-organization on the level of maintenance resources | |||
| Theoretical elaboration | Literature review | Confirmation of the chosen resilience conceptualization. Conceptualization of maintenance resource as main focus of the re-organization | ||
| Deriving findings | Data collection | 16 Semistructured interviews | Asset Manager I, Asset Manager II (2×), Head of Maintenance Distribution (3×), Head of Purchasing and Logistics (3×), Maintenance Team Leader (2×), Maintenance Staff North, Maintenance Staff East, Maintenance Planner, Maintenance Engineer | About 60 min each |
| Archival data | Flow diagrams, presentations, reports, memos, strategic policies e.g. protocol of uniform registration of failures, cost reporting maintenance, order advice report | 116 pages | ||
| 1 Focus group | 2 Maintenance Staff North, Maintenance Team Leader North | 120 min | ||
| Field observation | 2 Maintenance Staff North | 120 min | ||
| 5 Follow-up interviews | Asset Manager, Head of Maintenance Distribution, Head of Purchasing and Logistics, Maintenance Team Leader North, Maintenance Team Leader East | About 60 min each | ||
| Data analysis | As described in the data analysis section of this paper | |||
| Validation | Data collection | Focus group | Asset Manager, Head of Maintenance Distribution, Head of Purchasing and Logistics, Maintenance Team Leader North, Maintenance Team Leader East | 60 min |
| Data analysis | The focus group provided additional explanations and context for some examples and validated our findings | |||
| Reflection | Data collection | Semistructured interview | 2 Maintenance Staff | 45 min |
| Focus group | New Head of Maintenance Distribution 2 Schedulers | 50 min | ||
| Data analysis | Followed the same procedures as for the main interviews and confirmed findings after the re-organization had actually taken place | |||
