Course Overview
Supply chains are becoming increasingly complex, global, and data-intensive. Volatile demand, disruptions, sustainability requirements, rising logistics costs, and customer expectations are forcing organisations to move beyond traditional planning tools toward AI-enabled, adaptive supply chains.
Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly Machine Learning, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Generative AI, is transforming how organisations forecast demand, manage inventory, optimise transportation, monitor suppliers, and respond to disruptions in real time. Today, supply chain professionals—not just data scientists—can directly use AI tools to analyse data, generate insights, summarise operational reports, support decision-making, and improve coordination across functions.
This course provides a practical, business-focused introduction to AI for supply chain professionals. Participants will learn AI fundamentals, understand how AI technologies interconnect, and gain hands-on experience with leading AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, Grok, Claude, Manus, DeepSeek, Qwen, and NotebookLM. The emphasis is on real-world supply chain use cases, responsible AI usage, and measurable operational improvements, without requiring programming skills.
