Using Simulations And AI to Optimize Supply Chains
A meetup about the usage of simulations and AI for supply chain optimization.
In this meetup, we used the infamous Beer Distribution Game as a starting point to exploring and redesigning supply chains. After discussing the dynamics underlying the game and what this means for supply chains, we analyzed a robust playing strategy and then took a look at how to train AI to play the game using reinforcement learning.

Further Reading:
- Understanding The Beer Distribution Game provides an in-depth analysis of the beer game and of how to find the right ordering strategy.
- Training Artificial Intelligence to Play The Beer Distribution Game first introduces an Agent-based simulation of the Beer Game and then uses reinforcement learning to train the agents to play the game.
