Critical parts watch

Malleable watches the parts that can stop production, stitches together supplier and shipment reality, and routes threshold-crossing risks with recovery options for planner approval.

Malleable Workflow
Watch critical parts for production orders and alert planners only when inventory, supplier ETA, shipment status, or substitute availability puts the line at risk.
Done. I built the workflow below with stages, handoffs, and integrations.

Why This Works Better with Malleable

Start simple, improve over time

You just describe what you want to happen. The workflow integrates everything—no separate forms, brittle automations, or AI copilots to wire together. Iterate on your process without rebuilding.

No separate systems to integrate

The diagram you see is what executes. AI reasoning, data handling, and notifications all happen as part of the workflow—not as separate automations you need to configure.

Results

  • Line-down risks surface early
  • Approved substitutes are visible
  • Planners review only threshold-crossing risks
