This article discusses how global companies such as Walmart, Tyson Foods, Koch Industries, Maersk, Siemens, and Unilever are using advanced AI technologies to prevent supply chain disruptions. These companies are using AI tools to enhance visibility into their supply chains, respond faster to disruptions, find alternative suppliers, and automate negotiations. The article emphasizes the importance of testing AI technologies and using pilot programs to evaluate their effectiveness. It also suggests that companies should build a portfolio of AI tools to address different supply chain needs. [Extracted from the article]
