Implementing AI in enterprise supply chains holds immense promise for improving efficiency, resilience, and competitive advantage. However, successful AI adoption requires a clear, well-defined roadmap and a comprehensive strategy that is aligned with the overall business objectives.

​

This session explores the key components of developing a roadmap and strategy. Various use cases across planning, sourcing, manufacturing, transportation, and distribution are highlighted.

​

The session concludes with action items, emphasizing the importance of C-suite support. By providing a structured approach, the session aims to guide enterprises through the complexities of AI adoption to unlock the full transformative potential of intelligent supply chains.

Supply chain operations have long relied on automation to drive efficiency; however, traditional rule-based systems often fail to meet the demands of today’s volatility and complexity. In the age of AI, the opportunity is no longer just about automating tasks -it’s about embedding intelligent workflows that learn, adapt, and improve over time.

​

From demand forecasting and replenishment to warehouse receiving and last-mile delivery, AI can act as a decision co-pilot, continuously optimizing outcomes and building resilience.

​

This session explores how to design and scale AI-driven workflows that transform supply chains into adaptive, intelligent systems. Attendees will leave with practical insights into overcoming adoption challenges and a clear roadmap for moving from pilots to enterprise-wide transformation.

Supply chain digital twins integrate various technologies to create a dynamic decision support system that enhances visibility, agility, and response capabilities.

This presentation explores how digital twins (combined with AI) strengthen supply chain resilience in the post-COVID era, characterized by geopolitical instability, tariff changes, and disruptions that result in financial impacts.

Attendees will learn how to leverage digital twin technologies to perform scenario analysis, automate recovery strategies, and transform supply chain operations. Key steps for successful implementation and maximizing value from digital twins to build resilient supply chains.

Small external shocks - tariffs, regulatory shifts, currency swings - often ripple far beyond their immediate impacts, unraveling supply chains through hidden vulnerabilities in Tier-2 suppliers, logistics networks, and FX exposure. Mike Herak draws from real-world disruption stories to reveal how minor events can escalate unpredictably when fragilities go unseen.

Rather than offering a ‘how-to’ framework, this session sharpens leadership instincts for early risk detection. Focused on recognizing patterns - not prescribing processes - it equips executives and supply chain leaders with a deeper lens for systemic resilience, while safeguarding proprietary methods and emphasizing strategic awareness over technical solutions.

In this presentation, Dr. Erick Jones explores how artificial intelligence can be strategically integrated into the Lean Six Sigma framework to enhance supply chain performance.

By aligning AI capabilities with the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) methodology and other Lean tools, Dr. Jones presents a practical framework that blends data-driven decision-making with process improvement disciplines.

Attendees will gain insights into how AI can accelerate root cause analysis, predictive analytics, and continuous improvement efforts—ultimately leading to smarter, faster, and more resilient supply chain operations.
