Abstract

Artificial intelligence is becoming the best solution for an efficient supply chain. Its integration into supply chain activities within these systems brings substantial benefits, and is essential for improving overall performance. However, the supply chain is a group of activities that enables raw materials to be transformed into finished products and delivered to the end customer. In recent years, however, it has become very difficult and complex to deliver a product efficiently and on time. This can lead to numerous disruptions that can bring operations to a standstill. That’s why all companies need to improve and optimize their supply chain to meet the challenges ahead. At this stage, artificial intelligence is very important for optimization. It can improve productivity, supply chain resilience, visibility and flexibility. It can also reduce costs and lead times. The aim of this article is to explore the possibilities offered by AI for improving supply chain operations
