PLAN
Demand Certainty
Forecast demand carries minimal reliability at current certainty level. Recommend waiting for firm orders before committing capital to procurement.
Wait for demand to firm up before sourcing
Only 0% of demand is from firm contracts. Monitor and re-evaluate as contracts are signed.
Reasoning: MagnaBlend demand at Oakland is entirely forecast-driven with zero firm commitments, creating unacceptable sourcing uncertainty. Recommend deferring the 150 ST procurement until customer demand solidifies to minimize inventory risk.
Risk:
Complete absence of firm demand (0%) leaves full 150 ST exposure to forecast volatility. Sourcing without customer commitment risks excess inventory and potential margin erosion.
