1ALDI Milestone 2
Proposed AI Implementations:
1. Predictive Analytics for Customer Buying Trends:
Implement AI algorithms to analyze market trends, demographics, weather conditions,
and economic factors. Benefits include: enhanced accuracy in predicting customer preferences,
tailoring product offerings to specific geographic areas, and optimizing inventory management
based on anticipated demand, reducing surplus and stockouts. (Marr & Ward), (Knudson & Vu),
(Oosthuizen).
2. Shelf-Scanning Robots or Video Cameras:
Introduce AI-powered shelf-scanning robots or video cameras to monitor stock levels and
product placement in real-time. Benefits include: improving shelf management, ensuring
products are in the right place, minimizing out-of-stock situations by enabling timely restocking,
and utilizing data insights to understand customer behavior and adjust supply chain operations
accordingly. (Marr & Ward).
3. Warehouse Automation:
Implement AI-driven automation in warehouses to enhance fulfillment efficiency.
Benefits include: streamlining warehouse operations, reducing manual errors and delays,
increasing order fulfillment speed, improving overall customer experience, and enhancing
profitability by optimizing labor costs and warehouse space utilization. (Knudson & Vu),
(Hagberg), (Cao).
Customer and Company Benefits:
Customer benefits include convenience (customers experience more well-stocked shelves and
timely replenishments) and wider product variety (better understanding of customer preferences,
ensuring a diverse range of items, including those customers may not have known they needed).
Company benefits include operational efficiency (automation of menial tasks reduces the
workload on in-store employees), optimized shelf space (stock monitoring minimizes wasted
shelf space, improving inventory management), and increased profitability (warehouse
automation enhances fulfillment efficiency, leading to faster order processing and reduced
operational costs).
By strategically implementing AI in these key areas of supply chain operations, ALDI can not
only meet customer expectations for convenience and product availability but also enhance its
operational efficiency, leading to improved profitability and a competitive edge in the retail
market.
