Downstream

Supply chain & maintenance

One of many downstream use cases. This example focuses on spare parts optimization and turnaround planning, reducing inventory costs while ensuring critical parts are available when needed.

The inventory paradox

Too much inventory ties up capital. Too little risks extended outages when critical equipment fails. Your maintenance and supply chain teams manage thousands of SKUs across multiple facilities, making stocking decisions based on historical usage and vendor lead times.

Turnaround planning compounds this: a 30-day shutdown requires thousands of parts, coordinated contractor schedules, and precise sequencing. The cost of getting it wrong is measured in days of lost production.

Why current tools fall short

Traditional approaches were not built for the scale and complexity of modern operations.

01

Min-max based stocking

Reorder points are set manually and rarely updated. They don't account for equipment condition, usage trends, or lead time variability.

02

Fragmented procurement data

Purchase orders, vendor performance, and price history live in separate systems. Spend analysis requires manual data pulls.

03

Experience-based turnaround planning

Turnaround scope, sequencing, and contractor selection depend on the planning team's experience from previous events.

04

No condition-based trigger

Parts are ordered on schedule or after failure. Not triggered by equipment condition data that predicts the need.

The Lumina Approach

How Lumina solves it

Three layers of intelligence working together: reasoning agents, proactive detection, and multi-agent deliberation.

Layer 1

Inventory intelligence

Agents analyze consumption patterns, lead time variability, equipment criticality, and vendor performance to optimize stocking levels. Every recommendation is backed by SQL against your CMMS and procurement data.

Every calculation is SQL you can verify. No black box.

Agent Reasoning
SQL-Backed
Agent Reasoning:

Analyzing SKU P-4420 (Compressor Seal Kit): Usage: 8 units/yr (3-year average), increasing trend +12%/yr Lead time: 45 days (vendor avg), 90th percentile: 72 days Criticality: A (compressor downtime = $180K/day) Current stock: 2 | Recommended: 4 (safety stock = 2) → Reorder point: 3 units | Annual holding cost increase: $2,400 → Risk reduction: Eliminates 98% probability of stockout

All outputs backed by verifiable SQL you can inspect
The Radar
Scanning
Anomaly Detected:

ALERT: Vendor VX-200 lead times increased 40% over last 3 orders Affected SKUs: 47 parts across 3 facilities Critical exposure: 8 SKUs with A-criticality equipment → Recommend: Qualify backup vendor for critical SKUs. Increase safety stock for 8 critical items immediately.

Proactive hypothesis testing, like anomaly clustering
Layer 2

Supply chain risk detection

The Radar monitors vendor performance trends, lead time shifts, price volatility, and consumption anomalies across all facilities.

The Radar surfaces issues the operator didn't know to look for. Before they become incidents.

Layer 3

Maintenance & supply chain deliberation

Maintenance, supply chain, and finance agents reason together on turnaround scope, procurement timing, and budget allocation.

The output is grounded in facts (SQL results), not hallucination. Every recommendation carries a full audit trail.

The Boardroom
Deliberation
Multi-Agent Debate:

Maintenance Agent: Turnaround scope includes 340 work orders. Critical path: heat exchanger bundle replacement (14 days) Supply Chain Agent: Bundle lead time is 16 weeks. Must order within 2 weeks to meet schedule Finance Agent: Budget variance is +8%. Defer 45 non-critical work orders to next outage → Consensus: Order bundle immediately. Defer non-critical scope. Net budget impact: -3% from original estimate.

Agents vote, challenge, and produce a synthesized recommendation

The result: intelligence that scales

Lumina addresses the four strategic problems that hold operators back.

Scale without headcount

Optimize stocking levels across thousands of SKUs and multiple facilities automatically.

Reduce reactive costs

Reduce inventory carrying costs while eliminating critical stockouts. Optimize turnaround budgets.

Knowledge retention

Vendor performance history, consumption patterns, and turnaround lessons learned are retained, not lost between events.

Auditable trust

Every stocking recommendation, lead time analysis, and cost estimate is SQL-verifiable against your CMMS and procurement data.
