Harnessing AI: Revolutionizing Supply Chain Management in DOD
Abstract:
The DIB, a critical component of our national security apparatus, faces numerous supply chain challenges, particularly given our reliance on overseas suppliers. These vulnerabilities have the potential to be magnified during periods of geopolitical instability, as well as through threats to cybersecurity such as intellectual property the and sabotage of manufacturing systems. These supply chain hurdles can be overcome by taking a comprehensive systems of systems approach. A holistic solution is emerging; one that combines network theory and game-changing artificial intelligence (AI) that could someday provide a comprehensive defense sector supply chain operating system for real-me, 24-7 supply chain monitoring and supervision of the DIBs supply chain. AI has become an indispensable part of business intelligence (BI) tools, and is offering unprecedented insights and enhances the military decision-making process. AI has the potential to propel the DIB into a new revolutionary era of innovation and efficiency.
