Prediction of Delivery Date for Purchase Order Items (3FY)

Prediction of Delivery Date for Purchase Order Items (3FY)

Materials required for production are supplied by multiple suppliers. A delay in delivery can impact on-time production at the plant and cause rescheduling of assembly lines, which is very costly. Indirect material delay also causes interruption in supporting employees with required products or services. The Machine Learning algorithms identify the supplier delays based on the multiple situation and predicts the chances of delay. 

During creation of purchase orders or purchase requisitions, the lead time from the material master sometimes doesn't consider the processing and approval time.
