Scrape Supply Chain Data → Forecast Demand → Alert Procurement Team
Automatically collect production capacity data from semiconductor manufacturers, use AI to forecast supply/demand gaps, and alert procurement teams to potential shortages before they impact operations.
Workflow Steps
Python (with BeautifulSoup)
Scrape manufacturer production data
Create a Python script using BeautifulSoup and requests to scrape quarterly production reports from Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron investor relations pages. Extract capacity utilization rates, planned expansions, and timeline data. Run weekly via GitHub Actions or similar scheduler.
OpenAI GPT-4
Analyze supply/demand trends
Send scraped data plus historical demand patterns to GPT-4 with a prompt asking it to: 1) Calculate projected supply vs. demand ratios for the next 6-18 months, 2) Identify potential shortage periods, 3) Assess risk levels for different memory types (DRAM, NAND, etc.), 4) Suggest procurement timing recommendations.
Slack
Alert procurement and planning teams
Use Slack's webhook API to automatically post GPT-4's analysis to dedicated procurement channels. Include risk level indicators, specific shortage predictions, and recommended actions. Set up escalation rules to notify executives when risk levels exceed thresholds.
