AI will bring in a new age of predictive analytics, demand planning, risk management and countless other ways of enhancing how supply chain works. We need to utilise AI to help with the manual and data-heavy tasks, whilst leaving the EQ to people such as SRM and strategic planning. AI is here to help procurement and supply chain, not work against us, provided we utilise it correctly.
