Insights From Forecast to Factory Floor: How ML Models Are Cutting Production Waste

From Forecast to Factory Floor: How ML Models Are Cutting Production Waste

Every manufacturer forecasts demand — but most still rely on spreadsheets, gut feel, and last quarter’s numbers. In this session, we’ll show how machine learning models built on Microsoft Fabric and Azure ML are transforming production optimization from reactive guesswork into a predictive discipline. Drawing on real-world engagements, we’ll walk through how ML-driven forecasting reduced waste, improved throughput, and delivered measurable ROI — without requiring a team of data scientists. You’ll leave with a practical framework for identifying where forecasting ML fits in your operations and what it takes to move from pilot to production.
