This weekend was wet one here on the east cost of Australia. Saturday was mostly spent entertaining the kids and trying to coax the dogs - neither of whom are big fans of rain - outside to do their business. We assumed Sunday would be much of the same, so to give everyone something to look forward to, my wife and I invited our extended family over for a good old Sunday roast. Our extended family totals 14 humans. That’s 8 adults and 6 kids. As Sunday roasts are one of my favourite things to cook, I was on-point for the delivery. As I’m sure many would know, there is plenty of prep work that goes in to getting a Sunday roast ready. I was going for a slow roast leg of lamb this time around. I tend to be more of a Chicken or Pork person, so I’m always a little nervous when it comes to Lamb. Getting the leg of lamb in to the oven at exactly the right time, at exactly the right temperate was my main concern. I had something of an implosion 🤯 5 minutes before I was due to put the leg of lamb in to the oven. I reached for the foil, only to find that it was the end of the roll. To make matters worse, there was no spare! I’d just experienced an availability failure in my supply chain. Fortunately, I don’t live too far from our local mall, and so within seconds I was in the car and on my way to Woolies. This supply chain issue led a minor delay in the launch of the roast, but nothing too serious. I’m happy to report that the roast went off without any other significant events and overall, from what I could tell, all 14 humans were happy with the end result. On the train in to the office this morning, I took some time to think through what I could have done better, especially when it came to making sure I had everything I needed for the roast. During my PRR (Post Roast Review), I came to the conclusion that I could have done a better job of ensuring I’d verified my DBOM (Dinner Bill of Materials). Had I spent a little more time preparing my DBOM and then making sure I had everything I needed, I would not have experienced an incident that impacted the AVAILABILITY of foil, and there would have been no need for my emergency dash to Woolies - and all of the stress that comes with that! If you've read this far and you don’t want to suffer a similar incident when you’re preparing your next Sunday roast (Or building game-changing software), and you happy to be in Philadelphia at #AWSreInforce2024 next week (June 10-12) consider joining Leo da Silva and I for some coding show-and-tell fun in APS341 - Shifting left, securing right: Container supply chain security on June 12, 2024 @ 2:30PM ET - I promise I won't be cooking!!
