What happened
Researchers have proposed a framework for applying Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to supply chain management. They have also created a real-world dataset from a leading FMCG company in Bangladesh, focusing on supply chain planning. The researchers have discussed various supply chain tasks using GNNs and benchmarked several state-of-the-art models on homogeneous and heterogeneous graphs across six supply chain analytics tasks.
The researchers discussed and connected supply chains with graph structures for effective GNN application, providing detailed formulations, examples, mathematical definitions, and task guidelines.
They presented a multi-perspective real-world dataset from a leading FMCG company in Bangladesh, focusing on supply chain planning.
The researchers discussed various supply chain tasks using GNNs and benchmarked several state-of-the-art models on homogeneous and heterogeneous graphs across six supply chain analytics tasks.
Their analysis showed that GNN-based models consistently outperformed statistical Machine Learning and other Deep Learning models by around 10-30% in regression, 10-30% in and detection tasks, and 15-40% in anomaly detection tasks on designated metrics.
