Pensiamo, a joint venture between IBM and The University of Pittsburgh Medical Centre (UPMC) is using IBM's Watson to apply AI and machine learning to supply-chain performance. In the first phase of this project, IBM will use Watson's cognitive computing power to analyze data from supply chains in order to identify bottlenecks that can be eliminated by automation.
