Supply Chain Analytics: A Data-Driven Approach

The article "Supply Chain Analytics: A Data-Driven Approach" presents a mathematically rigorous framework that integrates statistical learning with robust decision-making for logistics and operations management. It covers topics from empirical demand forecasting to optimal inventory and network control under uncertainty, including sample minimization, dynamic programming for inventory replenishment, network fulfillment, and distributionally robust optimization using transport theory. The work also links predictive models with prescriptive algorithms such as column generation for vehicle routing and non‑homogeneous queueing regimes, offering both theoretical foundations and algorithmic guidance for building resilient, automated supply chain systems.

A Constraint-Aware Generative Framework for Synthetic Origin-Destination Demand in Logistics Networks

The paper introduces a constraint‑aware conditional generative framework for creating synthetic origin‑destination demand data in hierarchical logistics networks. By modeling demand as a conditional distribution over destinations given each origin, the method incorporates differentiable operational constraints directly into the generative objective, allowing topology‑aware synthesis that remains operationally feasible. Experiments on industrial fulfillment and transportation networks show a 16% performance gain over graph neural network baselines, 87% operational compliance, and efficient cold‑start adaptation, supporting capacity planning, network design evaluation, and routing optimization.

Adapting to Evolving Requirements: Agentic AI for Retail Supply Chain Operations

The paper presents a graph‑constrained agentic framework that enables large language models to adapt retail supply‑chain decision modules to evolving requirements. It jointly selects intervention routes and admissible module changes, validating candidates against downstream KPIs. Experiments with 100 warehouse requirements and three LLMs show the framework improves end‑to‑end success from 72–76% to 79–83%.
