@Sciety_User ​This work sets a new benchmark in backorder prediction by demonstrating that the combination of accessible high-performance computing platforms and well-selected machine learning algorithms can deliver state-of-the-art results without requiring enterprise-level infrastructure. It thus opens a promising avenue for practitioners and researchers seeking scalable, accurate, and interpretable solutions for complex supply chain challenges. We believe this contribution will encourage further research into the integration of cloud-based computing and AI in real-time supply chain risk mitigation, and support the development of agile, data-driven strategies to strengthen supply chain resilience in an increasingly volatile global environment.
