Shortage Radar
What you run out of, on what date, and the one action that still lands in time.
Watch demo
You'll run out. Knowing that isn't useful. Knowing the date and the one fix is.
The running product, filmed as it works — every number on screen was computed live while the camera was rolling. The voice names no number, so a re-recording can never contradict the screen.
What it produces
- Every material projected to go short inside ninety days, soonest first
- The date, the shortfall at its worst point, and the balance day by day
- One action per material — expedite, order, transfer, or move the date
- Materials that could not be projected, named with what is missing
A worked example
RM-4410 — short from 14 Sep, 3,180 KG
820 on hand, 4,000 committed and 0 inbound over 90 days
lead time 34 days against 21 available
→ order today and call the customer: it lands 13 days after the promise
9 materials could not be projected at all — listed, not hidden

Why it is hard
The part that is not a report.
Knowing you will run out is not the useful part. The useful part is knowing on what date, and whether an action still exists that lands before it — expedite, substitute, split the order, or tell the customer now rather than in three weeks. That depends on real supplier lead times rather than the ones in the material master, which are usually whatever was typed at go-live and never revisited. A prediction with no action attached is an alarm, and alarms are switched off by the people they wake.
Opened by the planner, the supply chain manager and the procurement lead — what each of them sees first.
Said before you ask
What we don’t do.
SIAARU decides from your records and nothing else. It carries no copy of the world’s data, states no number your systems have not, and acts in nobody’s name. Where your data does not support an answer, it says so by name rather than producing a confident one — which is the whole reason a decision taken on it holds up later.
The radar runs on your stock, your committed sales orders and your confirmed purchase orders. Two things it will not do. It does not compute cross-plant surplus, so it recommends ordering rather than a transfer it cannot prove is available to move. And a material with no lead time on file is treated as having none stated rather than as same-day — the opposite reading would recommend ordering today on every material nobody has configured.
Where this sits
One of 36 modules, on one engine.
Shortage Radar reads the same reconciled data as everything else SIAARU runs — connected read-only to your ERP, scored on the way in, measured in SQL. How that engine works is a page of its own. The other 35 modules, each with the state it is really in and the reason where it is not switched on, are on the module list; what this one costs, and what it costs beside the rest, is on the pricing page.
