Line-down parts watch
Watches the parts tied to priority production orders, checks inventory, supplier ETAs and shipments, and asks the planner to approve a recovery move only when the line is at risk.
The operation
Watch critical parts for production orders and alert planners only when inventory, supplier ETA, shipment status, or substitute availability puts the line at risk.
Built it in 5 steps. The planner approves an expedite, substitute or schedule change in Teams, and Malleable handles the rest.
