SUMMARY:DAO-ISEM-IORA Seminar Series: Lim Ting Hui
DESCRIPTION:Name of Speaker\n\n\nLim Ting Hui\n\n\n\n\nSchedule \n\n\n11 Sep 2026\, 10am – 11.30am \n (60 min talk + 30 min Q&A) \n\n\n\n\nVenue \n\n\nHSS 407\n\n\n\n\nLink to register \n(via Zoom) \n\n\nhttps://nus-sg.zoom.us/meeting/register/EVVs3uXER9S6sYNArJXyqQ\n\n\n\n\nTitle\n\n\nThe Forecast Is Not the Decision\n\n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\nFor all the millions invested in ERP\, planning systems and AI\, much of supply chain still runs on Excel in a planner’s laptop\, where the final decisions are adjusted\, overridden and made. This session explores why better forecasts are not enough\, why companies can be overstocked and understocked at the same time\, and how LLMs\, data science\, uncertainty modeling and operations research are converging to move supply chain from predicting what may happen to deciding what to do when reality does not follow the plan.\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\nTing Hui is an alumnus of NUS Business School and co-founder and CTO of MetaLearner\, a supply-chain decision intelligence company. His work in forecasting began in the classroom with Nico and has since evolved into building new technologies that help enterprises move beyond prediction toward better operational decision-making under uncertainty. Today\, MetaLearner works with ecosystem partners including NVIDIA\, Lenovo and Ingram Micro to bring forecasting\, optimization and AI-driven decision intelligence into enterprise supply chains.
