Analyzes supply chain operations and optimizes procurement and inventory.
Supply chain optimization is demand forecasting + inventory modeling + route optimization. AI surpassed human forecasting around 2019. Demand sensing, predictive procurement, and dynamic routing are now automated. Your job is fine-tuning the algorithms, not building the forecasts. Companies do need supply chain analysts—but 60% fewer of them, operating on 10x the data volume. The supply chain industry touts 'AI-enhanced analyst' as the future; translation: one analyst per region with ML tools instead of six analysts with spreadsheets.
