ProcurementLogistics
Renewing a fleet contract three months early to lock a price
Fuel and lease rates were moving in opposite directions. Renewing early cost a negotiating position and bought eighteen months of certainty. The spreadsheet said yes; the counterparty relationship said be careful.
WorkforceLogistics

Proposed by the shift supervisors, resisted by scheduling, and measured for six months before a permanent decision. The pilot design mattered more than the change itself.
