Case Study Highlights
At Bechtel, Tarek Amine is closing the gap between the speed of information and the speed of events, working from the principle that knowing what’s happening isn’t enough; the goal is predicting impact before it hits operations and having mitigations already in motion.
His team built a multi-agentic AI platform, using specialized agents that each focus on a specific area of risk, operating independently but synchronized with one another, paired with digital twin technology to run near-real-time simulations grounded in actual data rather than guesswork.
Tarek has also pushed this intelligence upstream into design, so procurement realities shape engineering decisions from day one rather than after the fact. With data now instantaneous, his team has shifted from data fetchers to strategists, spending their time on judgment rather than legwork.
He credits this combination, AI bringing speed and people bringing decisions, as the foundation for a supply chain built to anticipate the world rather than simply react to it.
