Use Case 1AIP for Supply Chain Logistics

AIP for Supply Chain Logistics allows organizations to quickly and cost-effectively adapt their supply and demand plans in response to network constraints and external factors, supporting optimal Supply Chain operations.
AIP for Supply Chain Logistics enables organizations to react efficiently to disruptions in the supply chain.

Constraints in the network (i.e., location constraints, transportation capacity, labor shortages) as well as external factors might require supply and demand plans to be adjusted on short notice. Those adjustments should be made as fast as possible and with cost and impact to service in mind, in order to arrive at the best execution outcome for day-to-day logistics.

Paired with linear optimization models, AIP recommends necessary orders based on stock transfer orders in the network, surfacing for human-in-the-loop review. The optimization model considers the latest state of the network and potential disruptions through integration of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Transport Management Systems (TMS) and Warehouse Management Systems (WMS). AIP also considers live service levels and targets, as well as costs incurred when moving and processing product.
