The Ten Field Disciplines
DATUM is organized into ten operational decision chapters, each cataloging ten canonical mathematical blueprints with interactive parameter models.
Demand
Predict customer purchases, isolate promotion lifts, and eliminate systemic forecast bias.
Inventory
Balance stochastic lead-time variances, size safety stock buffers, and classify ABC/XYZ tiers.
Production
Schedule scarce machine capacity, sequence changeovers via TSP, and elevate bottlenecks.
Logistics
Optimize vehicle routing (CVRPTW), 3D bin-packing cubes, and facility location allocations.
Sales
Decompose price-volume-mix margins, account tiering portfolios, and lead pursuit thresholds.
Customers
Model Kaplan-Meier retention curves, RFM segmentations, and proactive churn risk scores.
Finance
Forecast 13-week rolling cash runways, explain variance bridges, and audit revenue leaks.
Operations
Match workforce shifts to arrival distributions, analyze Kingman queue delays, and balance WIP.
Data & Analytics
Enforce DRY canonical metric schemas, orchestrate DAG pipelines, and monitor data decay.
AI & Automation
Integrate vector RAG search, zero-shot intent routing, and confidence-gated agent workflows.
