Workflow Orchestration

The affected decision is whether an agent may move an exception from detection into execution across organisational boundaries. Value requires evidence, approval thresholds and transaction status to remain visible across every hand-off. The failure mode is an agent that accelerates communication but creates conflicting commitments between transport, inventory, procurement and external partners.

The relevant Supply Chain signal is the movement from recommendation agents to agents that coordinate physical resources, workflows and equipment. Value requires validated device states, material availability and safe execution boundaries. The failure mode is an agent producing a logically correct workflow that cannot be executed because instruments, samples or dependencies are unavailable or incompatible.
