Abstract

This is a case about a fictional New York beverage company called Fizzy Fusion. The business is facing supply chain and inventory management challenges with its new product, SparklingSip. Despite seeking help from a data science consulting firm, the machine learning model that was built to resolve their inventory problem was not hitting the mark. The director of inventory management must identify the root cause of this issue while also considering the risk of revenue loss due to inventory issues—what are his options?
