Exception Handling: Where Planners Actually Spend Their Day
Supply chain systems handle the normal case; people handle everything else. This lesson covers why exception volume is the real workload, how to triage without automating away judgement, what a control tower does and does not solve, and why visibility is usually a data problem rather than a modelling one.
Trade Documents, Tariff Codes, and Where the Liability Sits
Moving goods across borders generates a large volume of documents with legal weight. This lesson covers what each one does, why tariff classification and origin are the two decisions that carry real penalty exposure, and how document extraction changes the work without moving the responsibility.
