Artificial intelligence-based risk assessment in agro-industry using supervised neural networks

Abstrak

The coffee supply chain involves high production volumes, complex multi actor interactions, and increasing sustainability requirements, yet remains highly vulnerable to risks dimension. This study aims to develop and evaluate a decision-support framework that improves the accuracy and consistency of sustainability risk classification in the coffee supply chain. The proposed framework integrates failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) with a supervised artificial neural network (ANN) using backpropagation (BP) to enable data-driven and adaptive risk assessment. Empirical data was collected from 55 respondents, resulting in the identification of 35 supply chain risk factors. These data were used to train and validate an ANN-based classification model implemented in a Python environment, with standard preprocessing and stratified data partitioning to ensure robustness. The ANN classified risks into five categories using supervised learning. The results demonstrate strong predictive performance, achieving overall accuracy of 98.97%, with precision, recall, and F1-scores exceeding 96.8% across all risk classes. Confusion matrix analysis confirms reliable generalization and minimal misclassification. The findings indicate that integrating FMEA with ANN-BP significantly enhances risk classification compared to conventional qualitative approaches. The proposed framework provides a scalable and reliable decision-support tool for dynamic risk scoring, supporting enhancement of sustainable practices in agro-industrial coffee supply chains.
