Demand Certainty
Demand certainty is 0%, indicating this is purely predictive inventory with no contracted customer offtake.
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: MagnaOleic demand at Baltimore is entirely forecast-based with zero firm commitments, creating unacceptable sourcing risk. Recommend deferring the 54 ST purchase until customer demand solidifies or reducing inventory targets for July 2026.
Risk:
100% of the 54 ST requirement is speculative forecast with no firm orders backing the purchase. Proceeding exposes inventory to demand volatility and potential obsolescence.
