Supply Chain Optimization with SAP Business AI
Business AI Associate · AI / ML · September 2026
A ProoV case study · educational project, not employment
Built a focused supply-chain rescue concept for a fictional Mittelstand manufacturer: diagnosed the true single-source bottleneck, scoped a Joule-style copilot that reads live supplier-health and inventory signals, and defined a human-approved next action rather than an autonomous replacement decision. Backed the proposal with honest ROI math and a board-ready pilot ask tied to a measurable reduction in detection-to-mitigation time.
