“THE IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN SUPPLY CHAIN OPTIMIZATION”

Supply chains are the backbone of global commerce, involving complex flows of

materials, information, and finances. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

technologies has revolutionized traditional supply chains by enhancing forecasting accuracy,

reducing operational costs, and increasing resilience to disruptions. This research paper

explores the transformative impact of AI on supply chain optimization, highlighting key AI

techniques, benefits, challenges, and future trends. Evidence from industry case studies

suggests AI significantly improves decision-making, responsiveness, and performance metrics

across supply chain functions.
