AI/ML and OR -a Complementary Couple to Power Supply Chains with Intelligent Agility
AI/ML may be trending, but its possibilities are real, and especially when combined with operations research the benefits can be far more than just alphabet soup. Legacy methods and approaches can be slow, rigid, or leave money on the table, so it is critical to choose the right math for the right problem at the right time. Supply chains increasingly face combinatorial challenges, but hybridizing AI/ML and OR can provide a more powerful approach, drawing on the strengths of multiple methods. Supply chains must respond quickly to maintain a competitive advantage, so combining these approaches can provide intelligent agility. This talk will illustrate with use cases from a variety of industries.
