AI for Supply Chain: Forecasting, Documents, and Exceptions

The biggest wins in this field are not where everyone looks. This cursus starts with forecasting and explains why better models rarely help: most error is process or structure, the bullwhip effect is not a forecasting failure, and forecast value added usually shows human adjustment making things worse. Then trade documents, where extraction genuinely transforms the work, and where tariff classification, origin and sanctions screening carry real legal exposure. It ends on exception handling, which is where planners actually spend their day.
