Title: Data-Driven Inventory Management: Leveraging Machine Learning for Operational Excellence
Abstract: In today's ever-evolving business landscape, retailers have unprecedented access to vast amounts of data generated from their daily operations. This wealth of data presents unparalleled opportunities to predict uncertain demand and overcome challenges in inventory management. To harness the full potential of available data, machine learning tools have emerged as indispensable techniques for driving high-quality, data-driven solutions. In this talk, we delve into different data-driven inventory management settings that seamlessly incorporate machine learning elements, forming their foundation theories and offering valuable and practical insights from operational perspectives.
