The Role of AI in Building Efficient Supply Chain
The world has witnessed the vulnerabilities of the supply chain, and it has become evident that businesses should focus on achieving an efficient supply chain. An efficient supply chain requires ideas that can withstand disruptions from natural disasters, pandemics, and geopolitical instability while improving sales and keeping costs low. Thanks to the power of AI, this is not a distant dream but an inevitable reality. But how exactly does it work? Let’s discuss!
How Did It Start?
AI is not a recent invention; it has existed since the 1950s, but it wasn’t until the mid-20th century it began to take shape. A significant moment was when the term Artificial Intelligence was coined in 1956 at the Dartmouth Conference. Ever since, it has continuously evolved and developed dramatically. Today, it can simulate human-like capabilities and can respond to human language. Many industries have begun implementing this technology into their business model to optimize operations, assist decision-making, improve customer experience, boost efficiency, and more.
So, How Does AI Accelerate Supply Chain?
AI can most certainly make the supply chain more efficient, and it begins by enhancing visibility. With real-time data, it allows firms to view and track inventory to resolve disruptions. It gathers records and extracts data precisely, enabling firms to map out different supply chain tiers. It uses data and analytics to identify potential risks and provide effective mitigation solutions, assist in forecasting to ensure that the business runs smoothly, and provide valuable insights to compete globally and meet sustainable standards.
