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.

Calibrating Decision Robustness via Inverse Conformal Risk Control

arXiv:2510. 07750v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Robust optimization safeguards decisions against uncertainty by optimizing against worst-case scenarios, yet their effectiveness hinges on a prespecified robustness level that is often chosen ad hoc, leading to either insufficient protection or overly conservative and costly solutions.
