In Gartner’s latest report “Top GenAI Use Cases That Work Best for Supply Chain Logistics,” Carly West and Jose Reyes highlight the transformative impact of generative AI (GenAI) on supply chain logistics.
The key findings from their research indicate a widespread exploration of GenAI, with nearly 100% of supply chains investigating its potential to improve operations.
Additionally, organisations are dedicating an average of 6% of their 2024 budgets to GenAI technologies, underscoring the significant investment in these advancements.
Furthermore, 65% of organisations are creating new roles specifically for generative AI expertise, reflecting the need for specialised knowledge to leverage these technologies effectively.
Generative AI and Key Use Cases
Generative AI, supported by foundation models trained on vast datasets, offers numerous applications within logistics. One prominent application is content creation, which includes drafting KPI scorecards, creating standard operating procedures (SOPs), and generating essential documents such as shipping forms and RFP templates. Another key use case is information discovery, where AI aids in KPI analysis, supplier performance diagnostics, and managing shipment inquiries, thereby streamlining processes and enhancing decision-making support.
Generative AI excels in summarisation tasks, efficiently summarising meeting notes, reports, and customs documents, which helps in managing large volumes of information. In transportation and warehousing, AI-driven solutions facilitate predictive maintenance, enable autonomous systems for robotic picking and document processing, and provide real-time customer assistance, contributing to more efficient and reliable operations.
Implementation Considerations and Challenges
For successful AI implementation, it is crucial to assess the feasibility and business value by evaluating talent availability, technology readiness, and data quality. Effective data governance is also essential, as organisations with well-managed data report more impactful business outcomes. However, data-related barriers such as accessibility, quality, and complexity remain significant challenges that must be addressed. Furthermore, by 2027, 50% of large organisations are expected to reevaluate their data governance to handle complex, data-driven use cases effectively.
