An event-based system is designed to notify the relevant parties when an event occurs, such as a shipment delay, which could impact the supply chain. This system can send alerts through various means, such as e-mail, fax, or pager, to ensure that the concerned parties are informed and can take necessary actions to mitigate the effects of the delay. MRP (Material Requirements Planning), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), and DRP (Distribution Requirements Planning) systems are not specifically designed to provide status alerts for shipment delays.
