Manufacturing example 2 of 3
Purchasing needed better decisions, not more data.
This work came from the same manufacturer engagement as the sales example. 3T AI combined market sources, sales records, inventory, and supplier capacity in one purchasing view. No quantified purchasing result is published.
One purchasing view
Market, sales, inventory, and supplier signals in one place
What changed
Demand and supply in one view.
- Market sources
- Sales records
- Current inventory
- Supplier capacity
- A repeatable purchasing review
The constraint
In the same Austin manufacturing engagement, the client tracked market signals in spreadsheets, reports, and trade publications.
Project managers spent Friday afternoons reading industry publications to work out where the market was moving.
Purchasing stayed reactive. Inventory did not match demand, cash sat in the wrong stock, and a single-source supply chain ran near capacity.
The result
No quantified purchasing result is published.
