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.

The paper introduces a framework that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate synthetic time‑series data for manufacturing processes. By fine‑tuning pre‑trained LLMs on manufacturing instructions and applying Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), the method enhances data diversity and realism. Evaluation against traditional models such as ARIMA and LSTMs shows that the LLM‑driven approach produces higher‑quality synthetic data, better capturing temporal dependencies and improving downstream anomaly detection performance.
