David Simchi-Levi examines how LLMs are reshaping manufacturing and Supply Chain decisions
David Simchi-Levi examined how Large Language Models can combine with predictive and prescriptive analytics in manufacturing and supply-chain decisions.
The practical issue is how generative interfaces connect to governed models, trusted data and accountable decision owners.
The Dataleo angle
The affected decision is how Large Language Models support manufacturing and Supply Chain decisions. Value requires traceable sources, explicit operational constraints and human validation; the principal failure mode is a fluent answer hiding stale data or incorrect business logic.
