摘要

A method of identifying root cause associated with risks in a supply chain network is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes performing natural language processing and text analysis on a user query to derive keywords, entities involved, and relationships between the keywords and the entities. The method further includes categorizing the user query into a risk category selected from a plurality of risk categories. The method includes creating a relationship mapping amongst at least one of a plurality of attributes associated with the risk category, in response to the categorization. The method further includes identifying, via the root cause identification device, a risk in the supply chain network based on the risk category and the relationship mapping. The method includes detecting a root cause from amongst a plurality of root causes associated with the risk. FIG.
