An example method includes: identifying one or more existing parts that match a part to be procured; determining a part quality and readiness score for each of the existing parts; identifying one or more suppliers of the existing parts; determining a supplier trust and opportunity score for each of the suppliers; determining one or more potential procurement decisions for procuring the quantity of the part, wherein the one or more potential procurement decisions include procurement decisions to procure the specified quantity of the one or more existing parts from the one or more suppliers based on the part quality and readiness score for each of the one or more existing parts and the supplier trust and opportunity score for each of the one or more suppliers; and recommending one of the one or more potential procurement decisions as an optimal procurement decision for procuring the quantity of the part.

Cognitive behavioral analysis for efficacious procurement

A method includes capturing shipment milestone data of cost, insurance, and freight (CIF) shipments, recording the shipment milestone data within a distributed ledger, generating a training dataset using past shipment milestone data recorded within the distributed ledger, and generating a machine learning (ML) model configured with explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) based on the training dataset. The method also includes receiving information regarding a CIF shipment from a computing device, determining one or more relevant features from the information regarding the CIF shipment, the relevant features influencing prediction of a lead time for ownership transfer, and generating, using the ML model configured with XAI, a prediction of a lead time for ownership transfer with an explanation of the prediction for the CIF shipment based on the determined relevant features. The method may also include sending the prediction of the lead time for ownership transfer with the explanation to the computing device.
