How the work runs

The pressure that made this worth automating, the steps the system runs, and what came out the other side.

Pressure & Trigger Points

Unexpected port labor strikes and canal blockages caused ocean shipping lead times to double from 21 days to 45 days without warning.
Supply chain planners relied on delayed freight forwarder email updates, learning of container delays only after ships were queued at anchor.
Unannounced container delays caused assembly line shutdowns at downstream electronics assembly plants, costing $150,000/day in idle labor.
