Stock, Turnover, Excess, Level & Location Advisor
The question STELLA is hired to answer. The chart shows who holds the position and where the decision goes when it is not STELLA's to make.
Work chart
With STELLA in the roleThese parameters no longer match the demand and the lead times you actually have, and here is what changing them costs or releases.
STELLA recomputes parameters, identifies excess and shortage, tracks ageing, detects lead-time drift. Parameter changes, transfers and write-down candidates.
Every digital coworker is hired against one primary measure, agreed and baselined before build. The others are read alongside it so the primary cannot be moved at their expense.
Primary measure
Inventory turns
Working capital released without buying it with service, because the trade-off is on every proposal
Excess found before it becomes a write-down, with ageing surfaced continuously rather than at year end
Transfers proposed instead of purchases, where the stock already exists somewhere in the network
Lead-time drift caught at source, usually the real reason a parameter stopped working
An inventory position explainable to finance, versioned with the reasoning behind every change
STELLA recomputes parameters, flags excess and shortage, proposes transfers between locations, tracks ageing, detects lead-time drift, raises parameter change requests under controlled workflow, writes the inventory decision log.
