All supply chain examples
Supplier delay response
Spots supplier and shipment delays, maps them to the orders and production runs they affect, and asks procurement or planning to approve a recovery plan before anyone is notified.
The operation
When supplier ETAs or shipments slip, map the customer and production impact and draft recovery options from supplier, carrier, order, and inventory data.
Built it in 5 steps. Procurement or planning approves the response in Teams, and Malleable handles the rest.
