hello world it's Suraj and supply chains I know it doesn't sound like the sexiest word ever but it is a very very important industry that AI can be applied to and improves greatly there's a huge potential there in this video we're going to improve the revenue streams for a simulated company using this logistics wizard that iBM has provided what this is is is it's an example of how a I can be used to optimize the supply chain for some distribution company so for those of you who don't know a supply chain is the process of taking of taking an item from raw materials into a finished product and there's a lot of middlemen along the way so anything you order on Amazon Prime for it to go from from where it is to you all of that is the supply chain and there are distributors there are you know drivers all sorts of different middlemen in the middle and the weather affects the price of the shipment there's all of these variables and this is a perfect perfect example of how a I can be used to to make a process more efficient and so what this is is it's a simulated demo of a global logistics company and what they do is they ship products they've got three distribution centers five active strip mints one has been completed and four retail centers this is where the product is actually sold to consumers and what we can do is we can simulate a storm using this button so I'll hit simulate storm and what's gonna happen is it's gonna simulate a storm it's a snow storm it's a moderately severe snow storm and what happened because of this storm because of this storm we have had supply shortages in these two cities from Salt Lake to Raleigh and from Salt Lake to Boston and I can either approve these or I can deny these I'll say approve for the first one and reject the second one and what this is gonna do to my bottom line as let's say I'm the CEO of this company is it's going to either increase my revenue or lose it okay so that's the demo and we're going to look at that at the end I'm also gonna explain the like the technical details of what's happening behind the hood here how it's doing that but you know high level if you just want to try it out without like having to code or looking at the technical details this IBM demo link in the description is perfect for you anyway so right so like I said the supply chain is that network between a company and its suppliers to produce and distribute a specific product and the supply chain represents the steps it takes to get that product to the consumer so we can see this nice little infographic we have the start which is a factory and...
