INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION IN SUPPLY CHAIN OPTIMIZATION

Abstract

Intelligent automation (IA) is transforming supply chain management by integrating advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT). This paper explores how IA optimizes supply chain processes, enhances operational efficiency, and drives strategic decision-making. By analyzing the impact of intelligent automation on various supply chain functions, including inventory management, logistics, and demand forecasting, this research highlights the critical role of IA in achieving agility and responsiveness in increasingly competitive markets. Additionally, the paper discusses the challenges organizations face in implementing IA solutions and provides insights into best practices for successful integration. The findings underscore the importance of leveraging intelligent automation as a key driver of supply chain optimization in today's digital landscape.
