Hey John, Mark the Global Supply Chain GM here. In my Simple Logistics dashboard I noticed some deviations in our key financial indicators.
TOUCHDOWN 49ers!!
Meanwhile in Santa Clara...
Our sensors are detecting anomalies in the plant, as I am sure you guys are aware...
Yes, you got the plant manager and supply chain VP on the line.

Our sensors are detecting an abnormally high energy consumption from our air ventilation machines. Analyzing the logs confirms a risk of overheating.
Inventory Allocation
Scenario 1
If we take the machines offline for preventative maintenance, let's have a look at the impact of the reduced production capacity
Scenario 2
Scenario 3
The capacity was already reserved to AB, a key strategic buyer. We definitely don't want to risk that relationship given their expected spend.
Abno Lama Inc.
They decide to call the AB account rep for confirmation
Thanks for the update guys. As you can see in the forecast there is more than $100M at stake!
