Break down timelines in the CLI

Let's be clear, this supply chain tool exists to fix your slow logistics pipeline. You can run `analyze_lead_time_composition` right from your terminal to extract the exact breakdown of every phase using this MCP. Your agent pulls the metrics and formats them as standard output. You can pipe those results into a bash script or a daily cron job. No bloated dashboards required.

Project delivery improvements

You need to know if paying for expedited freight actually matters. Trigger `calculate_reduction_impacts` via the CLI to simulate the exact efficiency gains. The math gets done instantly. You see the projected delivery window change based on your inputs. This lets you write automated checks that flag unviable shipping routes before they are booked.

Isolate variance with this MCP

A fast route is useless if it is unpredictable. Claude Code can execute `evaluate_process_volatility` to pinpoint the specific vendors causing your variance. The data doesn't lie. You find the exact stage where predictability falls apart. Then you use those terminal outputs to adjust your safety stock formulas automatically.
