Industries worldwide are facing intensified competitive pressures and profound shifts in demand dynamics, driven by factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing political conflicts. These changes affect not only the types of products purchased, but also the volumes. As a result, real-world supply chain networks are becoming extremely complex, impacting businesses of all sizes, including small and medium-sized enterprises. The need for companies to introduce ad-hoc constraints and requirements often amplifies these complexities, leading to highly intricate, large-scale operational challenges. In this project, we aim to develop a decision support tool for large-scale multi-commodity supply chain network to improve inventory management and transportation decisions over a multi-period planning horizon.
Join us for the webinar, "From Data to Decisions: Advanced Analytics and AI in Supply Chain Planning," where we’ll explore how AI and advanced analytics are reshaping the way supply chains operate. Discover how these tools can help you make smarter decisions, boost efficiency, and respond to changes faster. Whether you’re looking to improve planning, streamline processes, or just get a better handle on your supply chain, this session will offer practical tips and insights to help you navigate today’s complex business environment.

These events have a higher probability depending on factors like supplier previous financial issues, geographic factory locations, and local labor conditions and laws. While this approach could prevent supplier outages, taking such a high-level view ignores the nuances of relationships with suppliers and the day-to-day problems we...
