Start of the Workflow/Process.
1. Fetch Supplier Master Data
Retrieve supplier contact details and baseline lead time agreements from the Supplier Data Model.
2. Get Recent Delivery Records
Retrieve the last 5 completed delivery entries for the specific supplier to establish historical context.
3. Calculate Historical Average Lead Time
Calculate the mean duration between 'Order Date' and 'Arrival Date' from retrieved delivery records.
4. Calculate Variance Margin
Aggregate the difference between 'Contracted Lead Time' and 'Actual Lead Time' to identify delays.
5. Create Audit Task: Late Delivery Investigation
Assign a task to the Procurement Officer to investigate if recent delays are due to logistics or production issues.
6. Create Lead Time Deviation Entry
Generate a new record in the 'Lead Time Deviation Log' to document the identified discrepancy.
7. Update Supplier Risk Score
Update the 'Risk Rating' field in the Supplier Master Data based on the calculated variance.
8. Notify Supplier of Performance Deviation
Send an automated email to the supplier's account manager detailing the recent lead time delays.
9. Create Supplier Feedback Task
Create a task for the Supplier to submit a corrective action plan (CAP) via the platform.
10. Update Contractual Lead Time Baseline
If the deviation is permanent, update the 'Standard Lead Time' field in the Supplier Data Model.
11. Generate Monthly Supplier Performance Report
Generate a summary report containing aggregated lead time metrics for all suppliers for the current month.
