Lokad is a SaaS platform for quantitative supply chain optimization; cloud + machine learning + numeric optimization.

À propos

Quantitative supply chains are the future: where every possible future gets a probability, where every possible decision gets an economic score, and where control is given back to management thanks to extensive automation. Lokad's goal is to make this future a reality. We help companies do more with their supply chains, their inventories and their production capacities than classical methods would ever allow. Our technology combines big data and machine learning. Our teams deliver the supply chain expertise.

    It’s always great to attend events focused on a particular sector, such as the Engines sector within MRO Aerospace. This format made it easy to connect with industry peers, catch up with current customers, and meet new faces! One of the Conference sessions was about #AI in Aero Engine Maintenance. The major challenge for companies is how to work with scarce and fragmented data to build AI models for predictive maintenance. Luckily at Lokad, we use that "limited data" that our customers have to Optimise theirs Supply Chains. Our approach ensures that the data you have becomes incredibly valuable, helping to reduce TATs and drive real impact. To learn more about the AI technology we use, check the first comment of this post. It’s based on #DifferentiableProgramming technology. I’m looking forward to participating in the next conference panel to share our perspective on this interesting topic. #AEEUR Aviation Week Events

    The applicative landscape of modern supply chains—spanning ERPs, WMS, CRM, PSM, and more—is as messy as a natural ecosystem. This is why "out-of-the-box" software implementations often fail, pushing practitioners back to using spreadsheets. Navigating this complexity requires programmatic capabilities that leverage the appropriate programming paradigms. That's why, for over a decade, we have been developing DLS Envision—crafting bespoke numerical solutions precisely tailored to each client's unique requirements. #supplychain #supplychainmanagement #digitaltransformation #forecasting #supplychainflashcards

    Enterprise software vendors invariably pick the fashionable buzzword of the day to describe their tech - or rather their lack of tech. As the exception to prove the rule, Lokad has been using the term 'numerical recipe' for over a decade. We are kind of committed now :-) #supplychain #digitaltransformation #lokad

    Great thoughts from Warren Powell. His second point is pure gold:   "We need a new approach to how we evaluate the quality of a forecast, which means evaluating how well it performs in terms of making decisions (including both expected performance and risk) rather than measuring the difference between actual and the point forecast."   Many people dismiss the goal of forecasting, which is producing risk-adjusted profitable decisions. This is why we use probabilistic forecasts, not because they are cooler (although they genuinely are cooler 😉). They are needed to quantify risks. If you operate with point forecasts you are clueless about your risks (no matter what techniques you duct-tape on top of them!).

    A new approach to managing uncertainty I keep seeing people who approach uncertainty in #supplychainmanagement by proposing to take problems that exhibit a high level of uncertainty (also called “unpredictable,” “unforecastable,” or “stochastic”) and try to turn them into problems that are that are more predictable (or forecastable, or deterministic). The latest example is Lora Cecere’s thoughtful article   “If Only the Supply Chain was Reconfigured” https://lnkd.in/e54nMaFQ (“tinyurl.com/” with “CecereForecastability2024”)   where she argues for fundamentally reconfiguring the supply chain to manage uncertainty.    Of course, there will never be a single solution to managing uncertainty with an operation as complex as a company running a global supply chain, but there is one point that I keep running into: the desire to perform “forecasts” and assume that the goal is to perfectly predict whatever is being forecasted: monthly demands, lead times, lead time demands, component costs and market prices.   Years ago Lora called for a “new analytics.” I claim that the new analytics starts with using what many (such as Lokad) call “probabilistic forecasting.” This requires a fundamentally different approach to forecasting, especially along three dimensions:   1)   We need a new attitude toward forecasting, which means predicting the distribution of what might happen, rather than guessing what will happen. 2)   We need a new approach to how we evaluate the quality of a forecast, which means evaluating how well it performs in terms of making decisions (including both expected performance and risk) rather than measuring the difference between actual and the point forecast. 3)   We need to rethink what to do with a probabilistic forecast, which means learning how to live in an uncertain world. This is where Lora’s ideas fall, but this has to be approached with (1) and (2) in mind.

    Last week, the teams at Azul Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras and Lokad came together for three productive days of collaboration, working closely to rethink and enhance Azul’s supply chain. Azul’s energy and innovative mindset confirmed why our partnership is the perfect fit as they embrace a data-driven approach to inventory optimization. This partnership shows that great collaboration truly is the key to success!

    One might argue that a model predicting the impact of COVID-19 with high accuracy back in 2018 is a stroke of genius. But what if that same model failed 99 times out of 100 in other scenarios where COVID never occurred? Instead of attempting to guess the future with pinpoint accuracy, our true objective should be to forecast the probabilities of various outcomes accurately. In this light, does probabilistic forecasting become not just preferable but inevitable? 🤔 What do you think? #supplychainmanagement #digitaltransformation #ai #supplychaincomics

    Assessing the merits or demerits of a predictive model intended for supply chain purposes is half of the challenge (the other half being engineering the model in the first place). Issues lie at the extremes not in the middle. #supplychain #forecasting #lokad #riskmanagement

    Why are better decisions more important than forecast accuracy in isolation? 🤔 #Lokad's Alexey Tikhonov (Business & Product Developer) answers this question in our latest blog. This is a topic he covered at the 44th International Symposium on Forecasting in Dijon, France. Key takeaway:  Human judgment should be directed at improving the automation that generates decisions, NOT pursuing forecast accuracy in isolation. Also, don't miss the full replay of the #ISF2024 panel discussion. The link is available in the comments. 🎥🔗⤵ #forecasting #supplychain #supplychainmanagement #digitaltransformation #AI #ML
