Abstract
In the era of globalization and swift technological progress, the significance of supply chain management (SCM) in the facilitation of business operations has never been more pronounced. This paper investigates the profound impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on SCM, with a focus on scrutinizing the trajectory of AI's development and its practical applications within the supply chain context. The study's objective is to evaluate the advantages AI confers upon the field, through an examination that encompasses a literature review and case analysis. This research scrutinizes AI's contributions to enhancing supply chain efficiency, transparency, flexibility, and responsiveness. The findings underscore that AI's influence extends beyond mere operational enhancements; it is a catalyst for agility, enabling supply chains to swiftly navigate market fluctuations. The paper concludes that the amalgamation of AI with SCM is not just an evolution but a revolutionary shift, presenting a novel framework that will guide forthcoming research and dictate practice within the sector.
