Dr. Muddassir Ahmed

Delivered ✅- Hands-On GenAI Application in Supply Chain & Procurement Workshop in Mississauga, Toronto!

A big thank you to everyone who joined the SCMDOJO  x COLIBRI S&OP  session on Hands-on GenAI for Supply Chain & Procurement Professionals! 

Together, we explored how GenAI and LLMs are transforming supply chain workflows — from smarter supplier searches to streamlined RFP analysis, and even turning dashboards into executive-ready narratives.

Key takeaways from the session:

✔️ LLM Cheat Sheet: Strengths, blind spots, and how to design prompts that deliver real results.


✔️ Not All LLMs are Same: Different LLM has Different Strengths & Weaknesses based on Use Case. 


✔️ LLM Do Not Automate: You need to use automation tools with LLMs to drive efficiency.

✔️ PROMPT Framework: Persona, Role, Objective, Method, Parameters, Tone — a simple but powerful tool for consistent outcomes.

✔️ Live Demos:
	•	Finding suppliers in minutes, not months.
	•	Comparing & normalizing RFP responses, generating an exec-ready summary.
	•	Automating planning & forecasting insights with AI-powered storytelling.

Beyond the insights, the energy in the room — questions, laughter, and great discussions — showed how ready the GTA supply chain community is to innovate and collaborate.

🙏 Special thanks to Alexia Vitalli ☀️  and the Colibri team for their sponsorship and commitment to building this community, and to everyone who came out to learn, share, and connect.
