Course Objectives:

By the end of this course the delegates will:

• Learn how to utilize Machine Learning in Supply Chain Management.
• Learn new concepts from industry proven examples,
• Gain a foundational understanding of a subject and the use of AI within Supply Chain,
• Develop job-relevant skills with hands-on projects and examples.
• Create virtual models of Supply Chains.

Organizational Impact:

Working within high level and influence of competition, as they will be able to test the solutions and analyze the data, organizations can expect to benefit from:

• The use of tools for the simulation of supply chain and logistics processes
• Big Data sources within their own Supply Chain,
• Interoperability with other Supply Chains,
• Machine Learning based on the real time cost/benefit analysis,
• Easy and fast short-term forecasting for immediate decision making,
• Moving the cumbersome decision making to artificial intelligence field and
• Enabling people to make long terms decisions.

Personal Impact:

Delegates will learn how to perform the supply chain process design, identification of the distribution patterns and how are they implemented into the simulations, use of software for simulation of Supply Chain and Logistics processes, and creation of Machine Learning and AI algorithms:

• Simulation techniques, advantages and limitations
• Step-by-step process of Supply Chain improvement trough Machine Learning
• How to use Machine Learning and AI in their decision process?

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Operation Managers
• Project Managers
• Supply Chain Managers
• Risk Managers
• Plant Managers
• Production Planners
• HR Managers
• Logistics Managers
• Plant Managers
• Bossiness Improvement Specialists

The delegates will be walked through the examples of using the software for Supply Chain design, market planning, inventory optimization, warehouse practices improvement, risk management and customer satisfaction measurement.

Delegates will go through the step-by-step process of creating the supply chain process, performing the risk assessments, acquiring and analyzing the results and preparing the recovery measures, and using Machine Learning algorithms best utilized within the Supply Chain.

The delegates will create simulation models based on the real life data, and will be encouraged to simulate the processes they are already working on. The focus is on the actual work of the delegates and their effective use of software.
