NetSolve

Supply Network Design Tool

Build a supply network design tool with LP/MILP solvers — model facility locations, flow allocations, and cost trade-offs.

Built during SCAI Module 4 — Network Design
  • Node & lane configuration (factories, DCs, customers)
  • Cost modelling: fixed, variable, transport
  • LP / MILP solver under the hood (OR-Tools)
  • Scenario comparison: current vs. optimized vs. alternative

PlanAssist

AI-Powered S&OP Assistant

Build an AI-powered S&OP assistant using the Claude API — natural language queries, supply chain data integration, and scenario simulation.

Part of the AI-Powered Productivity course
  • Natural language interface for supply plan queries
  • Connects to your demand, inventory, and supply data
  • Structured recommendations with data backing
  • Scenario simulation: "What if demand spikes 20%?"
  • Built on Anthropic Claude API
