The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Optimizing Supply Chain Management

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in supply chain management has revolutionized operations, reducing inefficiencies and improving decision-making processes. This paper explores how AI-powered algorithms enhance demand forecasting, inventory optimization, and logistics efficiency. The study also highlights the challenges businesses face in adopting AI, including data security concerns and implementation costs. Using real-world case studies, the research illustrates the benefits AI brings to supply chain resilience, particularly in the post-pandemic global economy. The findings suggest that AI-driven models lead to significant cost reductions and improved customer satisfaction, positioning AI as a crucial component for the future of supply chain management.
