Unpredictable weather events are a major cause of supply chain disruptions, often leading to missed delivery deadlines and financial loss. The "Supply Chain Risk Agent" acts as an intelligent logistics control tower to solve this problem autonomously.
Instead of requiring manual checks, this Agent reads "Open Orders" from your ERP export (Excel) and validates the weather conditions at the shipment's origin city using the "OpenWeatherMap" API. It doesn't just flag risks; it uses "Generative AI reasoning" to find solutions.
How it works:
1. Detect: Identifies orders originating from high-risk weather zones (e.g., Storms, Hurricanes).
2. Reason: Scans your "Approved Vendor Master" list to find suitable alternative suppliers located in safe regions.
3. Collaborate: Triggers a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) form, presenting the risk analysis and the suggested alternative to the Supply Chain Manager for a one-click decision.
4. Execute: Automatically updates the order status in Excel and sends email notifications to stakeholders based on the manager's decision.
This Agent transforms a reactive process into a proactive, resilience-building workflow.
