Responding to Supplier Delays Through Joule

You've just been notified that a key supplier delivery will be late. How do you quickly assess the full impact on your plan and efficiently explore all possible mitigation steps in a systematic way?

A typical supply disruption workflow includes:

1. Detection of supplier delivery issues.
2. Updating key figures for late/missing deliveries.
3. Scenario creation for investigating stock shortages and countermeasures.
4. Running jobs and analyzing scenario-specific issues (location, component, shortfall).
5. Exploring alternative stock sources or suppliers, guided interactively by Joule.
6. Creating stock transfer or purchase requisitions as needed; unresolved issues can trigger further scenario iteration.

Joule’s integration streamlines supply problem-solving within a unified planning environment.

• Detect and Update Identify supplier delivery issues and update key figures for late or missing deliveries in your scenario.
• Analyze Stock Shortages Create scenarios to investigate supply gaps, affected components, locations, and identify countermeasures without switching applications.
• Execute Mitigation Actions Explore alternative internal stock or suppliers, then create stock transfer or purchase requisitions directly through Joule guidance.
