  1. McKinsey predicts machine learning will reduce supply chain forecasting errors by 50% and reduce lost sales by 65% with better product availability.
  2. Improving demand forecast accuracy to reduce energy costs and negative price variances using machine learning uncovers price elasticity and price sensitivity as well.
  3. Automating inventory optimization using machine learning has improved service levels by 16% while simultaneously increasing inventory turns by 25%
  4. Combining real-time monitoring and machine learning is optimizing shop floor operations, providing insights into machine-level loads and production schedule performance.
  5. Improving the accuracy of detecting costs of performance degradation across multiple manufacturing scenarios reduces costs by 50% or more.
  6. A manufacturer was able to achieve a 35% reduction in test and calibration time via accurate prediction of calibration and test results using machine learning.
  7. Improving yield rates, preventative maintenance accuracy and workloads by the asset is now possible by combining machine learning and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
