From the Data Driven Supply Chain team to you and yours – Happy New Year 2025!
The events of 2024 emphasized the trends that spurred me to leave the corporate world in 2021 to start Data Driven Supply Chain: as global supply chains become exponentially more complex, the fundamentals of decision science aren’t just relevant, they’re essential.
We can no longer view supply chain and logistics as a cost center, or as a function that is separate from business strategy or geopolitical considerations.
In 2024, or team didn’t just help our Fortune 500 clients navigate day-to-day questions – we helped our clients transform their supply chains. By combining decision science, AI, and open-source tools, we helped clients turn supply chain challenges into strategic opportunities in network design, inventory optimization, and more.
In 2024, our team:
- Completed critical consulting projects, including an inventory optimization initiative for a national restaurant chain
- Conducted supply chain analytics training in Chicago and Washington DC, bridging the gap between data scientists and supply chain managers
- Learn more about this training for your organization!
- Delivered several speeches for supply chain leaders across the country, sharing how to use decision science to improve their supply chains: clips here
Case studies from our clients:
- Agricultural Leader Supply Chain Network Optimization
- Inventory Optimization & Network Design for National Auto Parts Distributor
- Inventory Simulation for National Restaurant Chain
- Manufacturing Schedule Optimization for National Packaged Foods Manufacturer
As we enter 2025, the trends causing VUCA – volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity – in our supply chains will continue and likely increase.
Our mission at Data Driven Supply Chain remains clear: help organizations leverage decision science, AI, and open-source tools to build more resilient, intelligent supply chains.
If you’ve been on the fence, now is the time to get a handle on your supply chain through decision science and AI – with strategic initiatives like network optimization, inventory optimization, manufacturing optimization, and forecasting.
