3. BACKGROUND & MOTIVATION
• Looking for a FYP (Final Year Project), the team decided to opt a live project from the
industry
• The Team’s mutual interest in AI/ML
• Business Intelligence forecasting often presents the user with inaccurate results, causing
them to make severe economic mistakes
• BUT, there are no or very few existing AI/ML based efficient solutions
4. PROBLEM
• Rising Trend of “Seasonal Sales” in Pakistan, such as 11.11, Black Friday,
Blessed Friday, etc.
• Promotion-Heavy Environment and Ad-Hoc Reporting Based on BI (Business Intelligence) using
Statistical Models, therefore, UNCERTAINITY lies (Showing part of Big Picture)
• Old Statistical models are not designed to learn continuously from data and make decisions; they
become obsolete when new data comes in
• On the other hand, Machine learning computer programs teach themselves to grow and change
when exposed to new data.
5. EXISTING SOLUTIONS
• “Best-Fit” forecasting is a basic form of Machine Learning. NOT PRACTICED!
• Software solutions - use algorithms to continually analyze the state of your supply chain! NOT
PRACTICED!
• Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization (MEIO) – EXPENSIVE, NOT PRACTICED!
