Predict and Mitigate Supply Chain Disruptions

AI Insights to Mitigate Supply Chain Risks

C3 AI Supply Network Risk applies advanced machine learning and generative AI to help enterprises identify current and future risks across the whole supply chain from inbound supplier delays to order delivery risks, and manufacturing bottlenecks. The application leverages generative AI to highlight hidden risks and provides an intuitive user interface for supply chain teams to conduct natural language queries and rapidly access insights. C3 AI Supply Network Risk helps operators avoid disruptions by proactively identifying risks, understanding root causes, assessing tradeoffs with scenario analyses, and initiating preemptive actions to maintain a resilient and performant supply chain.

Key Capabilities

Unified supply chain digital twin

• Represent all supplier facilities, transportation hubs, local news data, and logistics data within one network graph
• View material in transit and recommend routing changes to minimize disruption
• Maintain a near-real-time view of all inventory, orders, and transit

Manage supplier portfolio

• Perform supplier resiliency analyses and identify bottlenecks
• Update and expedite purchase orders based on new production and assembly requirements
• Analyze contracts and replenishment policies at-scale to identify and remediate pricing outliers

ML-based risk detection and generative AI-enabled search

• Understand emerging risks across the supply chain using generative AI-powered natural language search
• Predict delays based on all incorporated data, including external factors such as weather forecasts and anticipated transportation issues
• Use local news data on strikes, unrest, and violence to forecast issues

Robust “what-if” scenario modeling

• Play out simulations based on alternate routes and shipments
• Leverage recommended scenarios that optimize logistics costs, maximize margin, and more
• Override ERP after modeling new parameters and forecasting downstream impacts
