Lee (2004) described Triple-A supply chains as those exhibiting agility, adaptability, and alignment. The most successful companies work within supply chains that rapidly respond to short-term changes in immediate and ultimate customer’ demands (agility), adjust to long-term changes in economies and markets by restructuring the supply chain (adaptability), and integrating and coordinating business processes resulting in an equitable sharing of risks, costs, and benefits with all participating partners (alignment).
