Overview

The development of AI, advanced analytics, and emerging technologies has created a new era of digitally driven supply chains that has changed the nature of Supply Chain Management (SCM) competitiveness. This textbook is designed to equip future supply chain professionals, analysts, and executives with the mindset, capabilities, and tools needed to thrive in uncertainty. Coverage includes foundational principles of SCM, but also emerging practices, real-world case studies, and forward-looking frameworks that show how AI is being deployed across industries—from retail and manufacturing to healthcare and entertainment. Throughout, AI is presented as an essential co-pilot to effectively navigate the challenges of SCM today and into the future.

Features

Inspire Students with Real-World Examples
Numerous real-world examples illustrate how organizations harness AI to achieve strategic goals and deliver value. These stories lay bare the many and complex challenges facing SCM today.

Supply chains today are interconnected systems where decisions and challenges have cascading effects. Managing Supply Chain is more effective when it is viewed proactively as an integrated system rather than reacting to independent decisions as they emerge.

Explore the dynamics of SCM decisions and best practices at every point using AI as a co-pilot.

Advance AI Skills with Practice
Each chapter ends with an abundance of exercises that use generative AI as a co-pilot for decision making. Additional deep discussion questions promote critical thinking and provide for insightful classroom discussion.

Accessible Coverage
This textbook is not mathematical or quantitative. Rather, it focuses on employing AI and promotes critical thinking and innovation.

Flexible Coverage
A modular structure allows you to dive into the topics in the order most relevant to you.
