Smart allocation across channels

The aim is not to automate every exception. It is to recognize which one deserves attention first. This note examines smart allocation across channels as a practical decision-support pattern.

Practitioner lens

Treat smart allocation across channels as a workflow hypothesis. Compare the proposed intervention with the current way of working and check whether the improvement survives a busy planning cycle.

First experiment

Run the pilot in shadow mode first, then expand only if the evidence improves a decision.

This is an original educational brief. It is a starting point for discussion, not a claim that one technique fits every supply chain.
