Supply Chain is the live workspace. Plan, Inventory and Sales are its views.
These views serve different recurring work inside one Supply Chain workspace—not three workspaces, products, deployments or copies of the truth.
Make and adjust the plan
Balance orders, material, capacity, process constraints and actual execution.
- Review exceptions and feasibility
- Sequence and re-solve work
- Compare scenarios and publish
Hold service on less cash
See inventory as a consequence of demand, supply variability and the plan.
- Investigate shortages and excess
- Review policy by SKU · location
- Trace stock to demand and production
Make reliable promises
Check an order against inventory, material and production capacity before committing.
- Test requested dates
- Compare full, partial and split options
- Re-promise when operations changes
The relationship is cyclical.
Sales accepts a priority order or revises a committed date. The shared demand state changes once.
Plan re-solves capacity, sequence and material consequences—without a handoff spreadsheet.
Inventory recalculates shortages, replenishment and cash; new availability flows back to Sales.
The same loop can begin anywhere: a supplier delay in Inventory, a breakdown in Plan or a new order in Sales. Cortex follows relationships to show the blast radius before a person approves the response.
Context changes. Identity does not.
The same stable identity appears in every view, with source lineage and effective dates intact.
A decision is made once, versioned and reflected wherever it matters.
AI proposes. Rules and solvers validate. People approve high-impact decisions.
A workspace is configured with you. It is not a self-serve builder.
PatternLab works with your team to turn a recurring operational responsibility into a governed workspace on Cortex.
Agree who uses the workspace, what must be decided and how success is measured.
Map the required source data and reuse shared identities, relationships, rules, evidence and time.
PatternLab helps establish roles, review paths, approvals, audit and the boundary between proposals and decisions.
More workspaces can reuse the same cortex.
The examples below illustrate extensibility only. They are not live PatternLab workspaces or current product claims.
Quality Risk Registry
Connect materials, batches, specifications, deviations, supplier evidence and approvals around governed quality-risk review.
Maintenance operations
Connect assets, work history, spares, production dependencies and evidence around maintenance prioritization.
Other operational work
Similar workspaces could support recurring decisions wherever shared identity, relationships, rules, evidence and governance matter.
