What the demo shows
Forecasts part demand and sets stock levels by station and fleet, for materials planners
Agents read component removals, aircraft health alerts, the flying plan, the check plan, new deliveries and the supplier's real delivery record, and forecast each part's demand at every station for 30, 60 and 90 days. Where a station will run short, the Sourcing Planner compares a pool borrow, a transfer from another station, an exchange and a purchase, and writes the cheapest option that arrives in time on a route map of the airline's stations, with its reason in one sentence. A second agent re-derives the forecast and checks the release certificate and the approval limit. The materials planner asks the agents about any shelf and approves, edits or rejects every borrow, transfer and order with a reason. The agents also propose what to do with idle stock, provision new aircraft and merge an acquired airline's parts.
