Course Overview

In the course “Generative AI for Business Decisions”, supply chain executives will embark on an immersive exploration of the complex challenges facing modern supply chains. With inflationary pressures mounting, companies grapple with escalating costs across key economic inputs such as energy, labor, materials, and transportation. Concurrently, disruptions loom large, stemming from global events like trade conflicts, pandemics, and extreme weather phenomena, all of which underscore the critical need for adaptive strategies. Moreover, the persistent labor market shortage, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, compounds the intricacies of supply chain management, impacting everything from manufacturing to strategic planning. Against this backdrop of challenges, Generative AI emerges as a transformative force, offering a paradigm shift in supply chain decision-making. Throughout the course, participants will delve into the intricacies of Generative AI technology and its profound implications for supply chain optimization. From enhancing demand forecasting accuracy to optimizing procurement processes and dynamically managing inventory levels, Generative AI promises to revolutionize every facet of supply chain operations. Furthermore, its role in fostering seamless collaboration among supply chain partners and enabling data-driven pricing decisions will be explored in depth.

Real-world case studies will serve as poignant illustrations of Generative AI’s tangible impact on supply chain performance and business outcomes. Participants will gain valuable insights from diverse industry contexts, ranging from multinational corporations to agile startups, showcasing Generative AI’s versatility and transformative potential across different sectors. By the course’s conclusion, supply chain executives will be equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to harness Generative AI effectively, positioning their organizations for sustained success in an increasingly dynamic and competitive business landscape.
