Chartered Supply Chain Artificial Intelligence Analyst (CSAI)®
The next wave of technology - artificial
intelligence (AI) - is already making sense of the
deluge of operational data streaming in from a plethora of devices and cloud applications. This technology is also applying advanced mathematics to create products, processes, and systems that can adapt and learn.
Machine learning capabilities apply algorithms to massive opera- tional data feeds to discover insights to track and predict supply chain disruptions, providing new levels of visibility into day-to-day operations. These capabilities can also recommend alternative ac- tions for unplanned events and transportation disruptions. Weath- er data integrated with operational data can predict potential problems and alert transportation and logistics service personnel with recommended actions.
