Supply chain risk identification: a real-time data-mining approach

Abstract

PurposeThe global pandemic COVID-19 unveils transforming the supply chain (SC) to be more resilient against unprecedented events. Identifying and assessing these risk factors is the most significant phase in supply chain risk management (SCRM). The earlier risk quantification methods make timely decision-making more complex due to their inability to provide early warning. The paper aims to propose a model for analyzing the social media data to understand the potential SC risk factors in real-time.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, the potential of text-mining, one of the most popular Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based data analytics approaches for extracting information from social media is exploited. The model retrieves the information using Twitter streaming API from online SC forums.FindingsThe potential risk factors that disrupt SC performance are obtained from the recent data by text-mining analyses. The outcomes carry valuable insights about some contemporary SC issues due to the pandemic during the year 2021. The most frequent risk factors using rule mining techniques are also analyzed.Originality/valueThis study presents the significant role of Twitter in real-time risk identification from online SC platforms like “Supply Chain Dive”, “Supply Chain Brain” and “Supply Chain Digest”. The results indicate the significant role of data analytics in achieving accurate decision-making. Future research will extend to represent a digital twin for identifying potential risks through social media analytics, assessing risk propagation and obtaining mitigation strategies.

Abnormal evolution identification method of material supply chain node relationship based on deep learning

“…If the labels respond, check whether the labels collide. When the labels do collide, it means that there is an abnormal relationship in the supply chain of materials supply, and this node is the abnormal relationship node [10]. If there is no collision, check whether there is a continuous collision phenomenon.…”

The Application of Integrating Data Mining and IoT Management Technology in Enterprise Supply Chain Information Management

“…Ganesh and Kalpana proposed an artificial intelligence-based model for analyzing social media data, which identifies and evaluates risk factors as the most important stage in supply chain risk management. The important role of data analysis in achieving accurate decision-making provided valuable insights into contemporary sustainable development issues [8]. To assist university students, improve their physical health, He et al proposed a college student physical exercise and health management system based on the IoT era.…”

Application and Practice of Artificial Intelligence Technology in Interior Design

“…To optimize the visual information of the interior design, the contour features of the visual image of the interior design are decomposed using the snake algorithm in artificial intelligence techniques [23][24][25]. According to the final result of the contour feature decomposition, the interior design elements are enhanced and the edge point distribution matrix of the interior design can be expressed as: (4) In Eq.…”
