Tackling Sticky Supply Chain Problems With Decision Science, Data, and AI

Data Driven Supply Chain LLC uses decision science, data, and artificial intelligence to help our clients tackle their toughest supply chain problems. We are laser-focused on this mission.

We believe these trends will change the world, and firms that embrace them will future-proof their supply chains and outpace their competition.

  • Supply Chains are complex and non-linear
  • Systems thinking will be required to design and manage supply chains of the future.
  • The falling unit cost of collecting, storing, and processing data makes it finally possible to track detailed activity across supply chains.
  • Cloud computing makes large-scale supply chain modeling accessible to all.
  • Open-source programming languages will upend the paradigm of commercial toolkits in supply chain analytics

 

We are based in Minneapolis, Minnesota and work with clients across the United States, Canada, and beyond.
