Business problem
Four thousand suppliers, 200+ factories, approximately 1.2 million orders, and operators make about 50 million supply chain decisions per year.
Solution
Approximately 200 master data/businesssheets are first connected to Ontology, then live access to constraints, capacity, network costs using AIP, scheduling of orders and recommendations for savings.
Technical architecture & production workflow
Step 01
About 200 master data/businesssheets + order/capacity/cost/network data
→
Step 02
Foundry Data Pipeline for Unified Clean-up and Supply ChainOntology
→
Step 03
Each order maps physical relationships such as factory, SKU, supplier, capacity, transport, etc.
→
Step 04
AIP real-time reading of business constraints and recognition of optimized orders
→
Step 05
Algorithms/AI generate heavy route, schedule or economy recommendations and estimate financial impact
→
Step 06
Recommendations reviewed by supply chain personnel at workstations
→
Step 07
Accept actions into the execution process; accept/reject feedback

Recommendations reviewed by supply chain personnel; public material stated >70 per cent of recommendations accepted.
FDE delivery actions
- 50 million annual manual decisions broken down into duplicate order-level decision-making units
- Harmonization of the physical and calibre of 200 tables to make the model understand the relationship between orders and the real network
- Irreversible constraints under common definitions of operations and financial objectives of “good recommendations”
- Moving AI from “Analytical Report” to approximately 400 executable recommendations per day
- Quality of recommendations with adoption rates, daily savings and service indicators
Reusable delivery patterns
- We'll start with actionable semantics, then we'll talk about Agent.
- Recommendations need to be accompanied by operational impact in order to reach operational priority
- The adoption rate is closer to real product indicators than the offline model accuracy
Business outcomes & delivery results
Approximately 3,000 purchase orders/days were assessed, with approximately 400 recommendations/days, approximately $40 K/day, $14M/year savings.
Evidence boundaries & verification notes
- High: Palantir AIPCon Impact Study made public the size of the data, Ontology, number of recommendations, rate of adoption and indicators of savings.
- The source can be directly located in the case; the value remains disclosed by the source and does not represent an independent audit.
