Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) and smart automation are revolutionizing the global supply chain ecosystem at an accelerated pace, providing tremendous potential for resilience, innovation, efficacy, and profitability. This paper examines how AI, machine learning (ML), and robotic process automation (RPA) influence supply chain operations to adjust to the risks and vulnerabilities. It focuses on how AI and other relevant technologies will enhance forecasting to predict actual demand, expedite logistics, increase warehouse efficiency, and promote instantaneously making decisions. This study utilizes thematic analysis to find AI-driven supply chain applications, including logistics optimization, forecasting demand, and risk mitigation, among 383 peer-reviewed articles (2017–2024). It provides a strategic framework for dealing with vulnerabilities, operational excellence, and resilient solutions. Additionally, the research investigates how AI contributes to supply chain resilience by predicting disruptions and automating risk mitigation strategies. This paper identifies critical success factors and challenges in adopting intelligent automation by analyzing real-world industry implementations. The findings will propose a strategic framework for organizations aiming to leverage AI to achieve operational excellence, agility, and real-time information flow for effective decision-making.
