About this programme
Effective supply chain management is critical to ensuring the timely availability of essential WASH resources such as chlorine, spare parts, water treatment materials, and water trucking services. Traditional planning methods often struggle to respond to changing demand patterns, emergencies, operational disruptions, and resource constraints. Predictive Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers powerful tools for forecasting demand, optimizing inventory, improving logistics, and supporting data-driven resource allocation decisions.
This course equips participants with practical skills in applying predictive AI, machine learning, data analytics, and geospatial intelligence to strengthen WASH supply chain management and resource planning. Through hands-on exercises, case studies, and real-world scenarios, participants will learn how to forecast supply needs, optimize stock levels, improve distribution efficiency, and develop intelligent decision-support systems that enhance service delivery and operational resilience.
