AI-BASED SUPPLY PLANNING IN PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURING
Artificial intelligence is becoming a powerful tool in pharmaceutical supply planning by helping factories predict raw material demand more accurately. Instead of relying only on manual estimates, AI can analyze past production data, seasonal trends, supplier performance, and market changes to forecast what materials will be needed and when . This helps reduce shortages that can stop production and overstocking that can waste money and storage space .In a medicine factory, better supply planning is important because delays or missing ingredients can affect the whole production line. AI can support planners by detecting risks early, adjusting inventory levels, and improving order timing for raw materials . As a result, the factory can work more efficiently, lower costs, and maintain a more stable supply of medicines for patients.
