Product direction · Automatic event-driven replanning and fuller decision memory are roadmap capabilities. Current run history and configured review flows are described separately.

Platform · Autonomous within bounds

Not every blip deserves a replan.

On Tuesday a supplier ships 8% short. On Wednesday a customer pulls an order in by a week. Neither should move the plan: its protection was sized for exactly this. On Thursday a second plant goes down for a month. That one should, and only for the decisions it touches.

The principle

Check every change against the bounds before touching the plan.

01
Sense

A change arrives

A supplier response, a demand change, an actual yield, a plant event.
02
Check

Against the bounds

Is it inside the range the plan and its protection were built to absorb?
03
Inside

The plan continues

No replan and no churn on the shop floor. The protection does its job.
04
Outside

Reopen what it touches

Only the affected decisions are reconsidered. Commitments already made carry forward.
05
Approve

Policy decides who acts

A named person approves, or authorized automation acts, as policy allows.

Resilience before autonomy

Autonomy without resilience is just faster risk.

An agent wired to a single-number plan sees every deviation as a problem and automates the expedite. The plan never had room for normal variation, so the bills arrive faster.

A plan built across the range of futures already absorbs normal variation. Autonomy then has a narrower, safer job: notice the change that matters and route it to the right owner.

Today

Flows that run every cycle, with owners and approvals.

Today, decision flows run each cycle from a fresh snapshot of the facts. A monitor step watches results against policy, every step has an owner, and policy decides which steps need a person's approval.

When conditions change, the next run starts from the new state, carries existing commitments forward and revisits the decisions still open.

Where VYAN is going

Event-driven response, decision by decision.

These capabilities are on VYAN's roadmap.
◷

Event-driven supply replanning

A material change reopens only the affected supply decisions, with commitments already made carried forward.

⚙

Event-driven schedule repair

A breakdown or late material repairs the schedule around the disruption instead of rebuilding it.

⇢

Event-driven supplier recommitment

When a supplier's situation changes, the request and the commitment are renegotiated inside the flow.

A decision agent

Retrieves the context behind a commitment, assesses a change and invokes only the flows policy permits.
