Service-parts demand pooling

An improvement should start from a recurring operational friction, not from a model demo. This article uses service-parts demand pooling to ask where a focused pilot could remove that friction.

Practitioner lens

For service-parts demand pooling, the operating signal matters only if it arrives before the decision cutoff. Map that cutoff, the accountable role and the action that remains feasible.

First experiment

Track service, cost, planner effort and false alarms together; a single accuracy metric will hide trade-offs.

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