The adoption of digital technologies in supply chain management is accelerating as companies seek to enhance operational efficiency by predicting market changes and responding proactively. The increasing complexity of supply chain operations—driven by expanding product lines to meet diverse consumer demands and the globalization of business operations—has been further compounded by external disruptions such as natural disasters, wars, terrorism, labor strikes, and workforce shortages.
To maintain supply chain stability, industry leaders are utilizing digital technologies such as AI and optimization to: ① diversify and localize supply chains to mitigate risks and enhance responsiveness, ② build agile supply chains that can adapt to rapid changes, ③ leverage client data analytics to provide personalized services, and ④ maximize supply chain efficiency through enhanced collaboration with stakeholders.
