Decision examples.
Worked decisions with real telemetry shapes and synthetic data. Each example pins one subject, shows the signal that opened it, the systems the agent consulted, the recommendation it made, and what the alternatives would have cost.

ATP short-ship
A priority customer is about to be short-shipped. Here is who ships, who waits, and what it costs.
A port strike halts inbound flow and committed orders exceed available-to-promise by 3,800 units. Four allocation strategies ship the same 8,600 units — with very different penalty exposure.
Worked example →Supplier OTIF drift
A key supplier's on-time-in-full is drifting. When does a trend become a decision?
Three periods of OTIF slippage on a single supplier — noise, seasonality, or the start of a failure? What the agent watches, and the moment it recommends acting.
In preparationForecast deviation
Four weeks of MAPE creep on one family. Re-plan now, or ride the noise?
Forecast error on a product family drifts past its control band. The cost of re-planning early against the cost of being late, made explicit.
In preparationCapacity spillover
Line 2 is over commitment for the week. What spills, where, and at what cost?
A production line exceeds its weekly commitment. Alternate routings, overtime, and re-promising compared as one decision with one write-back.
In preparationInbound reroute
A port closes overnight. Which inbound lanes move, and what does each day of dwell cost?
A sudden port closure strands inbound containers. Rerouting options priced by lane, dwell, and downstream promise dates.
In preparationSafety-stock rebalance
Service targets moved. Where does the buffer belong now — and what frees up?
New service-level targets shift where inventory should sit. The rebalance as a decision: what moves, what frees up, what it protects.
In preparation
Telemetry in the examples is representative and computed in-page; customers, SKUs, and penalties are synthetic. SCOR is ASCM's framework.
