Sustainable service trade-off cards

The aim is not to automate every exception. It is to recognize which one deserves attention first. This note examines sustainable service trade-off cards as a practical decision-support pattern.

Practitioner lens

Treat sustainable service trade-off cards 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

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.
