Artificial intelligence (AI) for supply chain management<\/h1>\n

Once thought to be a concept only sci-fi movies could produce, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a topic of our mainstreams and everydays.<\/p>\n

The potential of AI enhancing everyday business activities and strategies hasn\u2019t just sparked the interest of people and organizations globally, but has initiated rapid implementation. Most impact is seen on robotics, automation and predictive analytics.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

AI is intelligence exhibited by machines, or when machines mimic or can replace intelligent human behaviour, such as problem-solving or learning.<\/p>\n

In supply chain management it can be applied in two ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Automating processes and actions so they can operate without the need for human intervention<\/li>\n
  2. Assisting the human decision-making process in day-to-day operations by reducing errors and identifying bias, especially in data analysis<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/h2>\n

    Our Vision<\/h2>\n

    We believe AI can help to make companies to take, better, faster supply chain decisions.<\/p>\n

    We identified among our customers that most potential is seen to:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Anticipate on exceptions ahead of time<\/li>\n
    2. Automate manual tasks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Both human effort and traditional software implementations are often not able to pin-point where the bullwhip effect in a supply chain exactly begins. Pattern recognition, in the most abstract sense of the word, has, however, been one of the main fields in which AI has showed to have great potential. We believe that a suitable AI implementation can identify such patterns better than humans or traditional software.<\/p>\n

      We believe AI can help companies to improve speed and reduce waste by automating tasks and providing actionable insights into risks and possible exceptions.<\/p>\n
