Use case
Compare conflicting systems
Show which system to believe when ERP, PLM, MES, and the site spreadsheet disagree — and explain the authority rule that resolves the conflict.
Human owner: Data stewards · Document control · Engineering · Manufacturing · IT
Synthetic system-conflict demo. ERP and PLM connectors planned with design partners.
Why ordinary search fails
The company already knows the answer; it is just scattered, revised, and sometimes contradicted.
Each system has its own part number, revision, and effective date. No common key links them, and the newest timestamp is not always the right answer.
Site spreadsheet has a one-off override with no approval trail
ERP cache lags the PLM release
Different systems use different effective dates
Relevant record classes: ERP item masters · PLM revisions · MES work instructions · Site spreadsheets · Quality records and change notices
Representative questions
The question — and what the answer carries.
Continuum reconstructs the answer from the relevant record classes, applies the context rules when sources conflict, attaches the evidence, and marks anything unsupported or uncertain for the named human owner.
Which system should I believe when ERP, PLM, and the site spreadsheet disagree?
Synthetic illustrationAlso asked in this environment
- What is the approved revision and effective date for this asset today?
- Who owns the override in the spreadsheet?
Boundaries and ownership
What stays with named humans.
Continuum does not cross these lines
- Continuum does not write back to source systems
- The data steward approves any master-data change
