Endigest AI Core Summary
BASF uses AlphaEvolve, an evolutionary AI agent, to build a digital twin of its complex global supply chain, improving planning accuracy by over 80%.
•AlphaEvolve autonomously generates and refines supply chain planning algorithms using evolutionary coding and historical data from three years of BASF operations across 5,000+ distinct value chains.
•The AI-developed algorithm discovered domain-specific rules including production consolidation, dynamic safety stocks, and network-wide coordination that accurately reflect actual human planning decisions.
•Initial tests showed 80% relative improvement in accuracy compared to the baseline model in simulating inventory levels and production decisions across the network.
•The digital twin enables BASF planners to handle complex decisions across 180 production sites with two-year lead times while reducing working capital and preventing stockouts.
•The system will support continuous simulation, scenario forecasting, and optimization to iden
