🎤Featured Session Topic: Predictive Analytics and AI in Inventory Optimization, Demand Planning & Forecasting 

As the battery industry scales globally, competitive advantage increasingly depends not only on chemistry and performance—but on the ability to execute complex supply chains reliably under volatility. Battery value chains face long lead times, capacity constraints, high working capital intensity, and high penalties for stockouts, delays, and quality disruptions. 

This faculty session focuses on how organizations can apply predictive analytics and AI to strengthen decision-making across demand sensing, forecasting, inventory, supplier risk, and operational planning. 

📌Key topics include: 

• AI-driven forecasting methods, including time-series approaches (e.g., modern neural network approaches such as LSTM) 

• Predictive inventory optimization: safety stock, reorder points, and multi-echelon strategies 

• Continuous sensing & response systems to reduce the bullwhip effect 

• Early risk detection models to predict shortages and disruption 

• Practical implementation roadmaps: digital architecture, governance, and adoption hurdles 

The course draws on real-world use cases and case studies across leading organizations and supply chain innovators.
