Operational changes observed

Operations360 is being shaped against this operating model. Current work is focused on replacing fragmented operational context with one traceable Production chain; quantified before-and-after outcomes are not yet published.

Current limitations

This is the founding operating environment, not independent customer validation. Product workflows are still being implemented and reviewed.

Next implementation phase

Validate the commercial-core workflow, then connect serialized inventory, warehouse execution and return inspection with representative production data.
