within lead time for resolution
Prioritization
> Drive data to lowest actionable level
in organization
> Identify high-impact opportunities
> Combine forecasted and actual
demand levels
> Manage material velocity based
upon any desired variable of

Recalls, missing, new product, new processes, new facilities etc.
> Operations
Reactive alerts (standards) events that exceed standard
Proactive alerts (critical) product to be re-prioritized to prevent an issue
> Partners
