See where a delay lands before it spreads.

A supplier is running late. You need to know which orders and customers are exposed, and what to do about it, while there is still time to act.

Why it is hard today.

A list of late purchase orders does not tell you what sits downstream of them. The exposure is in the links: which route feeds which site, which customer that site serves, and what share of margin rides on it.

By the time the shortfall reaches a service report, the options left are expensive ones.

How Ergodic helps.

01

Trace the exposure

Follow the delay through the network to the orders, sites and customers that depend on that supplier.

02

Compare the mitigations

Keep the plan, expedite, or move volume to an alternative. Each is scored on orders exposed, mitigation cost and the exposure left.

03

Act with the workings

The recommended move comes with the path it travelled and the rule behind any option that was blocked.

One plant in the platform: what feeds it, how it is performing this week against plan, and everything it feeds downstream, from work centres to distribution centres to the products it makes.
One site, what feeds it, and everything downstream of it.

What you get.
