These tools included using logic, industry frameworks, systems like the Kanban or analysis tools like the Theory of Constraints.
With the widespread use of AI and ML and the development of faster processors, all permutations and combinations can be analysed, and futuristic algorithms are written that encompass all scenarios.

Going forward, the use of AI and ML will grow in all domains. The unprecedented growth in processing speeds will enable more complex algorithms to be processed that deal with the most complex situations. For companies to be competitive in the future, they must analyze their own business models and ensure they introduce AI and ML to remain cost competitive.
