Prioritize supplier and inventory exceptions. Supply planners approve the response and retain authority over order changes.

Where this gets stuck today
- Exception volume at SKU scale. Thousands of supply and inventory exceptions a week, each requiring a planner to manually reconcile ERP data against supplier commitments.
- Multi-plant, multi-brand fragmentation. Decades of acquisitions left separate legacy ERPs per plant or brand — no unified view of production or inventory.
- Recall traceability pressure. Regulators expect an ingredient lot traced across the supply chain in hours; that trail lives in five disconnected systems today.
Where a governed agent helps
- Analyst correlates ERP inventory, supplier commitment feeds, and shipment tracking; proposes a bounded reallocation.
- Challenger checks the proposal against contract minimums and penalty clauses before it reaches anyone.
- Your supply planner approves or revises — nothing moves without that click.
