Fireside Chat: AI & ML for Logistics & Supply Chain Management
2023-10-24 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Zoom webinar
There is growing demand for more resilient supply chain systems with improved visibility and connectivity. Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and data analytics have emerged as innovative solutions to address challenges and mitigate risks.
AI-powered solutions have the potential to enhance the entire supply chain process by proactively identifying issues and providing solutions to manage disruption. They can also optimize operations through smart automation, offering valuable insights and visibility to support effective decision-making and planning.
The applications of AI and ML are diverse and there are various effective ways to implement them.
Join the Supply Chain Transportation & Logistics graduate degree program for a Fireside Chat discussion on automation and machine learning in supply chain processes. We’ll explore topics such as:

The role of generative AI in automating supply chain systems
The impact of advances in demand and supply forecasting on short- and long-term inventory planning
Strategies for experienced logistics and supply chain professionals to stay current with new technology
Preparing early-career professionals to stand out in the job market
The advantages and pitfalls are in early adaption
Understanding how large language models will influence workflows
