Demand-to-Replenishment Variance Specification
CRITICAL VARIANCE DETECTED: Customer demand of 490 units exceeds standard line capacity of 420 units. Motor controller IC buffer drops to 14 days coverage.

Linked Supply Constraint
The Week 42 replenishment spike requires 600 units of MAT-SEMI-901. Due to the Mid-Pacific ocean freight delay, emergency buffer transfer from Rotterdam RDC is required to prevent line stoppage.
