Abstract

This article outlines the current challenges faced by the supply chain industry and examines how AI tools can be used to optimize upstream and downstream integration. The article will first introduce the scope of AI applications in the current supply chain industry and the potential for future improvements and expansion in various fields. Next, the article will focus on three important areas in integrating upstream and downstream relationships in the supply chain industry: demand forecasting and inventory management, logistics optimization and transportation management, and supplier evaluation and selection. The article will analyze how AI can assist in each area, along with its corresponding pros and cons. By analyzing research and examples in other literature, readers can also better understand the practical application of AI. The article will end with conclusions and recommendations for the use of AI tools in the current and future supply chain industry (mainly about the preparation for Industry 6.0).
