- Abstract
This study explores the transformative role of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) in optimizing vendor transportation management, a critical aspect of supply chain logistics. Traditional systems struggle with inefficiencies in route planning, unpredictable demand, and fluctuating operational conditions. AI-driven technologies, including real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and route optimization algorithms, provide smarter, more adaptable solutions. By leveraging big data and the Internet of Things (IoT), ML models—both supervised and unsupervised—enhance demand forecasting, fleet management, and cost reduction while maintaining service quality. Deep learning further refines pattern recognition for improved decision-making. Case studies and simulations demonstrate significant gains in cost efficiency, delivery schedules, and resource utilization. Additionally, autonomous transport systems integrated with AI enable partial or full self-management, promoting sustainable and scalable logistics. Future research highlights the potential of hybrid AI systems combined with blockchain for secure, transparent operations, alongside innovations like drones and driverless vehicles for last-mile delivery. Aligning with Industry 4.0, this study outlines a roadmap for AI-driven vendor transportation, ensuring efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness in modern supply chain management.
