Supply chain inefficiencies cost the U.S. Air Force billions annually, with weapons sustainment expenses growing to $18 billion in FY2024 due to aging fleets and rising spare parts costs. To address ongoing challenges like global material shortages and supply chain disruptions, the Air Force has adopted advanced AI and predictive analytics solutions. Wright Brothers Institute (WBI) has played a key role in helping the Air Force evaluate and implement these technologies effectively, ensuring that investments prioritize impactful solutions over redundant tools. https://zurl.co/uM9rk #supply #chain #predictive #analytics #airforce
