AI for Supply Chain Management Solutions

Built to improve decision clarity, inventory discipline, and business performance.

Supply chain performance is shaped by daily decisions about inventory, service, cost, working capital, and execution. In many organizations, those decisions are still made with fragmented visibility, weak cross-functional alignment, and limited connection to financial outcomes.

Eighty Four Group Consulting is building a focused solutions portfolio to help organizations, educators, and leaders improve supply chain decision quality. Across diagnostics, learning experiences, simulation, and AI-supported decision support, the goal is the same: stronger supply chain decisions grounded in business reality.

A Practical Solutions Portfolio

Designed to help organizations understand where supply chain decisions break down and how stronger decision support can improve performance.

These solutions are built to help organizations see where supply chain decisions are being weakened, what those weaknesses are costing the business, and what stronger decision support can improve.

Some solutions build capability through education and simulation. Others help diagnose operating gaps or support stronger day-to-day decisions more directly. Together, they reflect a practical view: better visibility, stronger controls, and business-aligned supply chain decisions lead to better operational and financial outcomes.

Two Solution Families

Some offerings build understanding and capability. Others support better operational decisions more directly.

Capability Building

These solutions help teams, students, and decision-makers build a practical understanding of how supply chain inventory management affects profitability, why siloed decisions weaken performance, and where AI-supported decision-making can improve results.

Applied Course

A practical course that connects supply chain inventory management to profitability, cross-functional alignment, and ROCE performance.

ROCE Business Game

A simulation-based learning experience that shows how supply chain events and disruptions affect ROCE, and how stronger AI-supported decision-making can improve operational and financial outcomes.

What These Solutions Improve

The solutions portfolio is designed to strengthen decision quality across operations and finance.

Decision clarity

Make supply chain decisions with a clearer understanding of tradeoffs, constraints, and business impact.

Cross-functional alignment

Reduce disconnects between supply chain, operations, and finance by grounding decisions in shared business priorities.

Inventory discipline

Strengthen how inventory decisions are governed, understood, and linked to profitability, service, and working capital.

Practical AI adoption

Who These Solutions Are For

Built for the people making, teaching, and funding supply chain decisions.

Universities and Colleges

For programs that want more practical AI-for-SCM education, applied decision-making capability, and stronger links between supply chain learning and business performance.

Enterprise Supply Chain Leaders

For leaders who need better visibility, stronger controls, and better decision support across planning, execution, inventory, and performance.

Finance and CFO Stakeholders

Why This Approach Is Different

Built around decision quality, not AI theatre.

Many organizations are introduced to AI tools before they have enough clarity on the operating decision problem those tools are meant to improve. At the same time, many learning environments still treat supply chain as an operational topic rather than a business-performance issue tied to inventory, cost, service, working capital, and return on capital.

This solutions portfolio is being built differently. It starts with the realities of supply chain decision-making, then uses diagnostics, education, simulation, and AI-supported operating tools to improve decision quality over time.

That is the underlying direction of Eighty Four Group Consulting: AI for supply chain management grounded in business reality.

Cross-functional visibility
Better decision support
Reduced decision latency
Stronger inventory discipline
Clearer finance impact

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions about the solutions, audience fit, and overall approach.

+ What is AI for supply chain management?

AI for supply chain management is the use of decision support, analytics, and automated intelligence to improve how supply chain teams respond to operational issues, inventory tradeoffs, service pressures, and financial constraints. Here, the goal is not AI for its own sake. The goal is to improve decision clarity, control, alignment, and business performance.

+ How are these solutions different from traditional supply chain consulting?

These solutions are built around decision quality, not generic advisory language or disconnected technology adoption. They are designed to help organizations understand where decisions break down, what that costs the business, and how stronger visibility, stronger controls, and practical AI-supported decision-making can improve outcomes over time.

+ Who are these solutions designed for?

The solutions are designed primarily for universities and colleges, enterprise supply chain leaders, and CFO or finance stakeholders. Some offerings are more focused on applied learning and capability building, while others are more focused on diagnostics, decision support, and AI-enabled operating improvement.

+ What does the Supply Chain ROCE Diagnostic assess?

The diagnostic assesses how well an organization’s supply chain inventory management and decision environment support stronger ROCE performance. It is designed to identify where visibility, control, alignment, and operating discipline are weak, and where targeted improvement is needed.

+ What is the ROCE Business Game?

The ROCE Business Game is a simulation-based learning experience that shows how common supply chain events and disruptions affect ROCE performance. It helps participants see how siloed responses can weaken outcomes and how stronger AI-supported decision-making can improve operational and financial results under the same conditions.

+ Who is the Applied Course for?

The Applied Course is designed for universities, students, corporate learning environments, and leadership teams that want a more practical understanding of how supply chain inventory management affects profitability, working capital, and cross-functional alignment.

+ What is the AI-Powered Operating Solution?

The AI-Powered Operating Solution is a software offering in development that is intended to support event-driven operational decisions across functions. Its purpose is to connect day-to-day supply chain execution with planning, business priorities, inventory discipline, and finance impact.

+ Do I need to be ready for AI before using these solutions?

No. Some of these solutions are designed to help organizations understand whether they are ready, where their decision gaps exist, and what practical steps should come first. The approach starts with the decision problem, not with the technology.

+ Which solution is the best place to start?

That depends on the need. If the goal is to assess gaps and build a business case, the diagnostic is likely the strongest starting point. If the goal is applied learning or executive education, the course or business game may be more relevant. If the goal is stronger day-to-day decision support, the software solution may be the right long-term fit.

+ Can these solutions support both supply chain and finance stakeholders?

Yes. The overall approach is designed to improve decisions across supply chain, operations, and finance rather than treating them as separate conversations. The aim is to support more financially grounded supply chain decisions around cost, service, inventory, working capital, and business performance.
