AI in FMCG
AI in FMCG: demand forecasting, assortment and pricing, marketing mix modeling, and supply-chain optimization.
AI is reshaping FMCG across demand forecasting, trade promotion optimization, retail media, and supply chain resilience, but adoption is uneven and often oversold. This block builds sector-specific fluency: how core AI concepts (prediction, generative content, optimization, personalization) map onto FMCG's high-volume, low-margin, retailer-dependent business model. You'll examine where AI genuinely moves the needle across the value chain, from demand sensing and NPD to pricing, category management, and consumer insight, and where hype exceeds value. The block also covers governance essentials: model risk in forecasting and pricing algorithms, data quality and bias issues tied to retailer and loyalty data, and regulatory considerations spanning consumer protection, advertising, and data privacy. The goal is critical, decision-ready fluency, not technical depth.
