The Challenge
The opportunity is to eliminate a date built on a quoted lead time, duty discovered after the purchase order, and expediting what should have been ordered. The proposed workflow is source-linked, but the current operating baseline and financial value remain illustrative until validated with the client.
How It Works
- One engine holds every vendor quote, lead time, tariff classification and index clause.
- It predicts the real delivery date for each component from that vendor's own history rather than the quoted one, flags the order that must be placed this week to hold a promised date, and prices each sourcing option landed, including duty, showing which option qualifies for the reduced US metal rate.
- Routes the source-linked result to the named owner for review and action.
What It Removes
- A date built on a quoted lead time
- Duty discovered after the purchase order
- Expediting what should have been ordered
