        cognitive computing can be used to predict consumer behavior through the
        analysis of unstructured data and social listening. Attendees will learn
        how inputting multiple-scenario data into prescriptive algorithms can
        help determine optimal production and sourcing locations without the
        costs of real-world trials. Attendees will also hear how to leverage
        prescriptive analytics for deeper insight to help reduce supply chain
        risk, manage routine processes, reduce costs and automatically make
        decisions

Businesses today need complete visibility into their supply chain data and as well as intelligence that can help practitioners predict and mitigate disruptions and risks before problems occur. IBM Watson Supply Chain not only provides employees with a view of all documents in their supply chain, it delivers proven cognitive capabilities that study normal supply chain patterns, quickly identify potential issues and allow teams to see where the issue is to uncover additional details.
