Sample: contract lines ordered automatically; two POs ready to approve; one sole-source line flagged to expedite.

How procurement work actually arrives

Scenario

Thousands of parts, hundreds of suppliers

No buyer holds the whole picture.

Scenario

Castings and long-lead items

Eight-week parts against a production schedule.

Scenario

Contract lines nobody should touch

Routine buys still take a person’s time.

Scenario

Late lines stop the line

Expediting is reactive until it is visible.
