Why Machine Learning is Central to Reverse Supply Chain 2.0 – Machine Learning Times – machine learning & data science news – The Predictive Analytics Times
E-commerce growth and a worldwide pandemic have brought to light the inefficiencies in the modern supply chain, especially the return process. The current return process is costly, inefficient, and wasteful. The following article explores how enabling efficient returns through reverse supply chain development can bring savings and operational improvements.
