Supply chain evolution is happening all around us. At the top of the agenda for most supply chains today? AI. We were thankful to host conversations with Colgate-Palmolive, AGCO, Westlake, EY and Microsoft to learn how their people are driving innovation in supply chain as part of our new series, Supply Chain Unplugged. Our candid discussions covered the perils and potential of AI, including how to:
Manage expectations, from fear to hype and everything in between
Ensure balanced implementations that leave room for human insights
Satisfy internal and external demands to meet the needs of the business, customers and the planet
If you weren’t able to join us in person, we encourage you to check out a few of our resources on how to bring AI into your supply chain. Our Supply Chain Unplugged host Polly Mitchell-Guthrie previously spoke with Mike Watson of Northwestern University about the potential impacts of Chat GPT on the supply chain, touching on practical applications that will influence productivity and workflows. For those interested in learning about how other AI applications will shape supply chains, our conversation with Pascal Van Hentenryck, Professor of Industrial Systems and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and Kevin O’Marah, co-founder of Zero100, takes a look at the cutting-edge research and strategies for AI in supply chain and explains how these innovations will enter the marketplace. If you’re wondering where to even get started with AI, this Logistics Viewpoints article, “Getting Started with AI in Supply Chain” will provide helpful guidance.
No matter your approach to AI in the supply chain, uniting around our common challenges will help us go farther faster. We hope you’ll join us for a future Supply Chain Unplugged event.
