How BASF manages thousands of supply chain decisions with AlphaEvolve’s agentic algorithms

BASF, a leading agricultural and crop protection company, uses AlphaEvolve's agentic algorithms to manage thousands of supply chain decisions. The intricate network involves 180 production sites and over 5,000 value chains, making it challenging for human planners to see the ripple effects of local decisions. AlphaEvolve helps planners navigate this complexity by generating and refining algorithms autonomously. This approach aims to reduce working capital and inventory, and improve production imbalances. BASF's goal is to establish a new model for decision support that complements human decision-making.
