Supply chain planning can often seem like a lot of trade-offs. Genlots is a company using Reinforcement Learning to optimise the triangle of cash, (inventory working capital and so on), costs, (prices,  delivery, transportation, etc.), and service (customer service, or the service that you give to your production).

I invited Simon Schenker, Founder, and Co-CEO at Genlots to come on the podcast to tell me more.

We had a really interesting chat covering the triangle, how Genlots optimises for that triangle, and how reinforcement learning helps that process out.

It was a fascinating conversation. I learned loads. I hope you do too.
