Supply Chain Optimization with SAP Business AI

A ProoV case study · educational project, not employment
Built a tightly scoped supply-chain rescue plan for a German manufacturer: identified the true bottleneck as a single-sourced critical component with roughly two weeks of cover, designed a Joule-style copilot that recommends the next best action with human approval guardrails, and quantified a conservative payback from days recovered plus avoided expedite cost. The board pitch was crisp and decision-oriented, ending in a specific 2-person, 60-day pilot ask with a measurable success target.

What stood out6
- Correctly rejected the decoy port delay and focused on the single-sourced component that actually threatens the line
- Defined a practical copilot output: a drafted PO or reroute for human approval, plus a ranked alert and explicit never-do line
- Applied the autonomy boundary well, especially by escalating high-value, irreversible actions like air freight and new-supplier moves
- Made the board ask specific and bounded: a 2-person, 60-day pilot with success defined as detection-to-mitigation under 1 day
- Leakage-Free Problem Diagnosis
- Human-in-the-Loop Copilot Design
