In the talk, we will look at how the use of artificial intelligence can help supply chain management – from optimising inventory levels and production planning to the ordering process itself, applied to a distribution centre and a manufacturing company. The talk will go through the challenges of Supply Chain Management, and we will present what artificial intelligence methods are, and how they are used to predict a demand for products on the market and optimise the production and purchasing of products or raw materials.

Editor's Notes
Application of AI in SCM – from purchasing, forecasting demand/sales, optimising production processes, distributing to retail stores/wholesales, etc. And we will see what are challenges in SCM and how AI solves them
1 Tell about challenges in supply chain from our experiences with clients
2 Present insights about demand and sales forecasting
3 What callenges occur during forecasting
4 What challenges can be solved in SCM with well done forecasting
5 Present benefits with focus on financial benefits of one system like this for company involved in SCM
We will show how works operating processes of a company working distribution (retail & wholesale), manufacturing and challenges it faces
distribuira u trgovine i veleprodaju i nešto imaju svoje proizvodnje
Moramo znati kolika je potreba/demand tj prodaja
Naručujemo od dobavljača
Postavljamo radne naloge shodno tome kolika je potreba
Predviđamo prodaju po trgovinama i šaljemo u njih
Isto i za veleprodaju
Problem ako je razlika u dinamici trgovina
Poslati tamo gdje je veći potencijal prodaje
Vidi se kompleksnost procesa
