The supply optimization position for the AI era — the cross-vertical coordinate for optimizing supply itself.
Names the discipline of using AI to optimize supply decisions — inventory levels, sourcing quantities, capacity allocations — across a supply chain.

Why this is canonical
Supply optimization is a well-recognized discipline in operations research and supply chain management — the mathematical and algorithmic problem of matching supply to demand at minimum cost. On .ai, this string elevates the concept to the agent era, where AI systems run optimization continuously rather than in periodic planning cycles.
