Abstract

The automotive industry is constantly facing the challenge of optimizing their suppliers to meet customer demands while kee** costs low. Knowledge graphs have proven to be effective tools for modeling complex supply chains, but their use for optimization is limited. In this paper, we report on our experience at Bosch to use Answer Set Programming (ASP) to optimize component suppliers in the automotive industry based on knowledge graphs. Evaluation on industrial products shows both efficiency and effectiveness of our modeling framework in generating optimal solutions for supply chain management problems.
