Building a Foundation for AI Success Across the Business. How a Manufacturer Weathered Disruption with AI Forecasting.

A mid-sized electronics manufacturer experienced serious supply chain challenges during a recent global disruption. Lead times fluctuated, costs rose, and missed shipments became common. The procurement team needed help predicting demand and managing vendor performance.
The Challenge: Blind Spots in the Supply Chain
They had ERP data, but no forecasting logic to:
Anticipate SKU-specific demand shifts
Evaluate supplier reliability and lead time variability
Optimize inventory without overstocking or risking stockouts
They were stuck reacting to problems instead of planning around them.
