Publication IV: Predicting Supplier Delays Utilizing Machine Learning—a Case Study in German Manufacturing Industry

Although Machine Learning (ML) in supply chain management (SCM) has become a popular topic, predictive uses of ML in SCM remain an understudied area. A specific area that needs further attention is the prediction of late deliveries by suppliers. Recent approaches showed promising results but remained limited in their use of classification algorithms and struggled with the curse of dimensionality, making them less applicable to low-volume-high-variety production settings.
