Supply Chain Optimization with SAP Business AI
Business AI Associate · AI / ML · August 2026
A ProoV case study · educational project, not employment
Built an end-to-end supply-chain rescue proposal for a fictional SAP manufacturer: identified the true single-source bottleneck, quantified the idle-line exposure at about €120k per day, and designed a Joule-style copilot that reads live supplier-health and inventory signals to recommend the next best action. The plan includes explicit human-approval guardrails, a defensible payback estimate, an India localization callout, and a concise board pitch with a bounded pilot ask.
