A Calculated Approach to Predictive Analytics
It wasn’t that long ago that the concept of predictive analytics was the stuff of thought leadership pieces and futuristic white papers.
The recently released 2017 MHI Annual Industry Report, “Next-Generation Supply Chains—Digital, On-Demand and Always-On,” however, places predictive analytics squarely in the category of here and now.
The new report, developed for the fourth year in collaboration with Deloitte Consulting, features numerous in-depth case studies. They cover a wide variety of technology advances, all with the hope of providing practical illustrations and realistic applications.
“It’s always good to see a concrete example,” said Randy V. Bradley, Ph.D., assistant professor of information systems and supply chain management at the University of Tennessee. “These are not just concepts, or technology that we’re talking about for the sake of talking about technology…. They give the reader something to chew on.”
