ThroughPut Inc Appoints Founder of Adaptive Insights and Industrial Automation Professor from Carnegie Mellon University to advisory board.

MENLO PARK, Calif and SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 18, 2018 /CNW/ -- ThroughPut Inc., the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Supply Chain pioneer that enables companies to detect, prioritize and alleviate dynamic operational bottlenecks, today announced the launch of its executive advisory board with the appointment of Rob Hull and Ramesh Bollapragada.

"At ThroughPut, we work with some of the largest, most sophisticated, and most dynamic supply chains of the world. Our customers expect unique technical expertise. ThroughPut is incredibly honored to have Rob, Ramesh, Hon, Cameron, and Takao-san join to differentiate our platform ELI in the supply chain optimization & enterprise software space. " said Ali Raza, ThroughPut's Founder and CEO. "I look forward to their close involvement and guidance in the next phase of our product differentiation and to enable customer success."

"Supply chain optimization software helps to address working capital challenges and allows operational teams to be more productive," said Rob Hull, Founder, Adaptive Insights. "I have watched ThroughPut grow out of the Bishop Ranch Innovation Intelligence Accelerator. I am excited to advise the ThroughPut team as they bring machine learning intelligence to process optimization."

"The Supply Chain Industry is undergoing a dramatic transformation where visibility and collaboration hold paramount significance. To survive and thrive in such disruptive times, supply chain leaders must leverage the power of Advanced Statistics and Machine Learning to more effectively predict potential bottlenecks, prioritize and rank their impact to operations in real-time, especially for strategy automation. The industrial leaders of tomorrow are already beginning to utilize their existing data from years of Enterprise Resource Planning and other database systems to effectuate the remediation of bottlenecks and disruptions in real-time across the entire value chain. This has been proven to lead to greater throughput, higher productivity, lower costs, and from a financial perspective, better quarterly Earnings-Per-Share improvements. In short, every production manager and operations executives' dream. "
