In the ever-evolving landscape of supply chains, the question arises: can artificial intelligence (AI) play a role in making supply chains more agile? The answer is a positive one, and in this article, we delve into the current state of supply chains, the challenges they face, and the ways AI/ML technology can offer solutions to enhance their flexibility and agility.

Current Supply Chain Challenges The supply chain industry has seen numerous cycles of innovation, deployment, and inertia over the years. With more than two decades of experience in entrepreneurship, management consulting, and operational and IT roles, we are well-equipped to evaluate the transformative potential of AI and machine learning (ML) in the supply chain sector.

One of the prevailing challenges is the vision of a centralized, cross-functional “brain” for supply chains, which, while appealing, remains largely aspirational. A survey conducted two years ago revealed that nearly 75% of global supply chain leaders relied on spreadsheets for planning, and over 50% still used applications nearing the end of their life cycles.

Despite ongoing modernization efforts in the IT domain, technical debt and impediments continue to loom large. These manifest in outdated enterprise resource planning tools, disconnected supply chain processes, and point solutions that were initially quick fixes but now require substantial work. These technical challenges often only surface during crises, such as when a vendor sends an end-of-life notice, or when legacy software applications need maintenance but are no longer in use.

How AI Can Enhance Supply Chain Agility While AI and ML are not magic bullets, they offer valuable tools to address these challenges and develop an integrated supply chain platform that promotes flexibility and agility. Here are some ways AI/ML can contribute to this goal:

  1. Identifying and resolving technical debt: AI can be employed to identify and alleviate burdensome technical debt, with generative AI tools capable of extracting and updating outdated code. This reduction in debt can free up resources for supply chain platform upgrades.
  2. Expanding visibility: AI can enhance visibility and rectify information gaps by incorporating diverse data sources, including macro trends, thus minimizing the risk of external shocks.
  3. Harmonizing data: AI/ML technology can resolve the issue of inconsistent product classifications, enabling the harmonization of master data in a matter of minutes.
  4. Processing data: AI can process data at various points along the supply chain, classifying data, identifying anomalies, and providing sorted and ranked outputs for informed decision-making.
  5. Generating actionable insights: AI-driven insights enable cross-functional execution, allowing various teams and stakeholders to respond rapidly to changing circumstances, optimizing their operations and inventory management.

Best Practices and Considerations Successful AI initiatives in supply chains often share a few common elements:

  1. Involvement of all stakeholders: It’s crucial to engage external partners and internal leaders from various departments, including IT, marketing, risk management, and logistics.
  2. Awareness of costs: Implementing AI solutions can become complex, requiring computational resources and ongoing attention to data quality and bias, which necessitates the allocation of resources and expertise.

Challenges in AI Implementation AI implementation in supply chains does come with its own set of challenges:

  1. Expertise: Supply chain leaders require in-house knowledge, particularly with generative AI, or they can explore independent model hubs that offer ML operations tools and the ability to fine-tune models.
  2. Security and privacy: AI implementations can pose security and privacy risks, necessitating sound governance and mitigation strategies to protect internal and partner data.
  3. Ethical considerations: AI, when trained on historical data, can introduce bias and other unintended consequences. It’s essential to implement checks and reinforcement learning to avoid or mitigate such issues.

Realizing the Vision The pursuit of end-to-end supply chain visibility and resilience has been a long-standing aspiration. With the support of robust AI/ML algorithms, this journey is becoming increasingly attainable. Implementing AI-enabled supply chains requires ongoing commitment, buy-in from all stakeholders, and a clear understanding of the associated costs. However, the potential benefits are substantial, offering actionable insights that can enhance responsiveness, flexibility, and efficiency.
