供应商交付周期预测是物料需求计划、库存优化和供应链风险管理的核心输入。然而,许多工业交付周期数据天然存在右截断:预测时部分订单尚未到货。标准回归与分类方法忽略该信息,传统生存分析模型需针对任务定制建模。本文提出一种截断感知的上下文学习模型LeadTime-ICL(LT-ICL),结合Transformer主干与条件归一化流头,生成完整的交付周期预测分布。模型在合成右截断任务上预训练,实现无需任务特定参数更新的上下文适应。理论证明:超额CRPS受先验误设与摊销近似误差限制,为性能提升提供明确方向。在24个跨七行业的私有供应链数据集上评估,LT-ICL在15个数据集上点预测误差最低,在14个数据集上概率预测误差最低,综合排名最优。结果支持将右截断概率预测作为实际交付周期预测的有效范式,并验证预训练上下文模型可在低适应成本下为工业规划系统提供高精度预测。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Supplier lead time forecasting is a central input to material requirements planning, inventory optimization, and supply chain risk management. However, many industrial lead time datasets are naturally right-censored: at the time forecasts are required, some orders have not yet arrived. Standard regression and classification approaches discard this information, while conventional survival models require task-specific modeling. We propose LeadTime-ICL (LT-ICL), a censoring-aware in-context learning model for probabilistic lead time forecasting. LT-ICL combines a transformer backbone with a conditional normalizing-flow head, producing a full predictive distribution over lead times. The model is pretrained on synthetic right-censored lead time tasks, enabling in-context adaptation to new industrial datasets without task-specific parameter updates. We provide theoretical support for this formulation by showing that excess CRPS is bounded by prior misspecification and amortized approximation errors, providing clear direction for improving forecasting performance. We evaluate LT-ICL on 24 proprietary supply-chain datasets spanning seven industries. LT-ICL achieves the lowest point-forecasting error on 15 of the 24 datasets, and the lowest probabilistic forecasting error on 14 datasets, yielding the best average rank across both. These results support right-censored probabilistic forecasting as a practical formulation for supplier lead time prediction and demonstrate that pretrained in-context models can provide accurate, low-adaptation-cost forecasting for industrial planning systems.
