Tuesday, 9:12 AM — Multi-line manufacturing plant
4 production lines, 12 active suppliers, 86 customer orders in the pipeline. Your Tier-1 supplier just confirmed a 3-week delay on a critical component. By noon, 3 lines are affected.
Supplier delay — Tier 1
Critical component (electronic subassembly) delayed 3 weeks. Affects 34 finished products across 2 lines.
Line 2 — Machine failure
CNC machine #4 down for maintenance. Estimated 48h repair. 12 orders in queue need rerouting to Line 3.
Demand surge — Key account
Automotive OEM customer doubles their order for next month. +40% volume on a line already at 92% capacity.
Quality hold — Incoming batch

22 orders delayed with no recovery timeline communicated to customers.
Full impact mapped, scenarios generated, decision made — same morning.
Priority orders rerouted to backup supplier. All OEM deliveries confirmed on time.
Resequencing keeps lines productive on unaffected orders while sourcing alternative components.
Procurement, production, quality, and sales aligned on the same recovery timeline and customer communication.
