PLUTO fuel supply-chain risk forecasting
DLA Energy used PLUTO to monitor more than 600 fuel supply points and forecast supply-chain risks
Problem
DLA Energy needed a shared view of global fuel inventories and potential disruptions. Separate data sources complicated inventory inquiries and operational planning.
Approach
Directorates began using PLUTO in October 2024. The platform combined global energy data with AI and machine learning for risk forecasting and inventory management. Scenario modeling helped users examine disruptions and alternative supply arrangements.
Results
Takeaway
DLA reported broad inventory visibility, but did not quantify improvements in forecast accuracy or fuel availability.
