AI and Machine Learning for Supply Chain – Into the Future
It’s 2021! and we want to contemplate the future of technology and how it will change our world.
Oh yes, there are those usual outsized proclamations that AI and machine learning will provide close to $3 trillion of savings in 2021 – that’s right now. Then there is a bleaker view depicting the lack of preparedness for the future. These are interesting points of view, yes, but they don’t provide the guidance we may need to make reality-based decisions to address our challenges and take advantage of practical and competitive gaining innovations.
