Artificial Intelligence in Supply Chain: A Comprehensive Analysis of Applications, Impacts, and Future Directions

TLDR

Research demonstrates that artificial intelligence substantially enhances multiple supply chain management functions such as forecasting capabilities and inventory management systems alongside logistics operations and risk management strategies.

Abstract

Supply chain management (SCM) has experienced significant changes due to the transformative impact of Artificial

Intelligence (AI) on multiple business operations. The research article conducts a thorough examination of how AI

applications influence supply chain management today and what future developments to expect. According to the

research AI technologies transform supply chain processes while improving operational efficiency and promoting

sustainable practices.

The research methodology includes a systematic literature review that examines peer-reviewed articles along with

industry reports and case studies published between 2015 and 2021. Research demonstrates that artificial

intelligence substantially enhances multiple supply chain management functions such as forecasting capabilities

and inventory management systems alongside logistics operations and risk management strategies. AI systems

promote operational effectiveness through better demand forecasting accuracy, logistics optimization and enhanced

risk management capabilities.
