Introduction to predictive analytics
Predictive analytics is a type of data analysis that employs statistics, big data, machine learning data mining or predictive algorithms, among other techniques, to predict what may happen in the future and make data-driven decisions that will give the organization a competitive advantage.
For predictive analytics to work, a number of important conditions must be met: the main, obvious one is that the data must be of good quality. The basis on which any type of data analytics is based is that the data is correct and complete, otherwise the decision making will be wrong. On the other hand, the use of machine learning algorithms will allow the optimization of operations and the appropriate trend analysis.
Importance in business and operations

In general, companies in the industrial sector are employing predictive analytics to establish risk management and improve the supply chain. . One of the areas in which predictive analytics is being used most in the industry is to predict failures and problems in industrial machinery and equipment. Through the use of real-time and historical data, machine performance, environmental conditions and operating variables can be predicted and patterns suggesting impending problems can be identified.
In addition, the industrial sector uses predictive analytics to predict the demand for products and raw materials in the supply chain. Thanks to it, they can predict market trends and perform behavioral analysis, so that companies can optimize their inventories and adjust their production levels to meet expected demand.
