Solution · Operational Continuity Management
Know Whether Production Is Still Protected.
OpsDeck connects available raw-material inventory, expected consumption and inbound movement to show how long operations remain protected, where continuity is weakening and what management needs to address first.
Works with existing data • Configurable operating thresholds • No ERP replacement

The management question
Stock on hand does not tell management whether production is protected.
A material may appear available today but still create a future production risk when consumption, inbound timing, shipment confidence and minimum operating requirements are considered together.
Built around critical materials
Monitor the materials that can constrain production.
Each implementation is configured around the plant’s own materials, units, operating thresholds and consumption logic. Illustrative examples include:
Insufficient material cover
Current usable inventory may fall below the plant’s minimum operating requirement.
Inbound timing exposure
Expected material may not arrive before available cover is exhausted.
Shipment confidence
Delayed, incomplete or uncertain movement can reduce projected cover reliability.
Supplier context
Recurring delays or quantity shortfalls add context to operational exposure.
From data to decision
A clear continuity view built from operating reality.
Read available inventory
Use the latest approved stock position for each critical material.
Apply expected consumption
Use the plant’s configured consumption rate or operating plan.
Calculate current cover
Estimate how many operating days available material can support.
Add qualified inbound movement
Consider quantity, arrival date and shipment status.
Compare against thresholds
Evaluate projected cover against the configured minimum requirement.
Surface the risk
Show the likely date, reason, affected material and required action.
OpsDeck’s continuity status is based on customer-provided data and configurable operating assumptions. It supports management review and does not replace plant operating judgment.
The operational view
See the earliest continuity risks before they become production problems.

From risk to ownership
Turn every important risk into a tracked management action.
Identifying a risk is only useful when responsibility, next steps and closure remain visible. This management follow-up layer does not replace procurement approval workflows.
Works with the current process
Adds continuity intelligence without replacing operating systems.
| What stays the same | What OpsDeck adds |
|---|---|
| Existing ERP or inventory records | Structured material-cover view |
| Existing purchase-order process | Inbound dependency visibility |
| Existing supplier communication | Supplier and shipment context |
| Existing procurement responsibility | Prioritised risks and assigned actions |
| Existing source files and exports | Consolidated management visibility |
No forced ERP migration. No mandatory DCS access. No change to procurement authority.
Start with a defined scope
Begin with one plant and its critical materials.
Define critical materials
Agree which materials should be monitored and what operations they support.
Map available data
Review stock, consumption, purchase-order, shipment and supplier information already maintained.
Configure continuity logic
Set material-specific consumption assumptions, lead times and minimum operating thresholds.
Validate historically
Compare calculated cover and risk signals against earlier periods and known events.
Begin management review
Introduce the view, assign owners and refine thresholds using plant feedback.
Existing approved files and exports can be sufficient to begin. Deeper integrations can be considered after the continuity logic is validated.
Additional context
Understand when supplier performance affects continuity.
Supplier performance becomes operationally relevant when late delivery, short supply or inconsistent movement changes the plant’s material-cover position.
Explore Supplier Risk VisibilityControlled data onboarding
Designed to work alongside existing systems.
OpsDeck can begin with customer-approved exports from existing systems. Direct access to ERP, DCS, MES or production-control systems is not required for the initial continuity assessment.
Discuss your continuity requirement
Discuss the materials that determine your plant’s continuity.
Show us how critical-material stock, consumption and inbound movement are currently tracked. We will explain how OpsDeck can convert that information into a structured continuity view.
