News from GAINS Labs

  • Leveraging Machine Learning in GAINS
    GAINS Labs is operationalizing pragmatic ML advances in lead-time and multi-horizon demand prediction to significantly reduce uncertainty and errors. GAINS focuses on delivering repeatable solutions via Explainable AI (XAI) with resilient methods across teams and time.
  • New Decision Engineering Platform
    GAINS introduced a new decision engineering platform to a record number of attendees at the sold-out GAINS Summit in Chicago, leapfrogging traditional supply chain planning and network design solutions.

From the foundations of our 3 Tenets Optimization acquisition, GAINS has developed from the ground up a purpose-built decision engineering platform that will address VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) and redefine the real math and science behind supply chain decisions, expanding beyond design and into policy and decision execution. With a new probabilistic solver, GAINS is creating a design decision and policy platform that sits above the tactical supply chain planning and network design tools traditionally used by enterprises. Data science and decision science are converging into a single platform where decisions can be composed with unique tools and methods suitable for each decision, engineered and optimized probabilistically, with proper risk assessment and policy impacts.

New math, New tools, New methods. A design decision and policy platform that embraces AI, ML, OR, and heuristics enables decisions to be engineered and composed based on what method(s) best suit the problems to be solved and the decisions to be made—Decision Engineering™.
