A Slipping Supplier Date Reshuffles the Automotive Build Plan Late
When a tier-two supplier date slips, the build plan and its budget rest on the wrong assumption, and the line reshuffles at a premium later. The AI brings together lead times, port dwell, call-off schedules and earlier delay outcomes, and returns a delay probability with a confidence band and the drivers behind it. Weak evidence, such as missing tier-two data, is flagged before the forecast is used.
