interesting article, we have been for a number of years working on the use of AI to enable unblocking of the supply chain. Our scheduling and configuration algorithms work with our ‘agent based predictive analytics’ in order to predict the flows and using ‘big data’ (in essence it’s been around for years) it means manufacturer, transport handlers, distributor, to end user can perform seamlessly.

What is missing is the ‘individuals’ with vision who are prepared to get the key parties around the table to enable this…if only this could happen, then the constraints in your article could be addressed. Maybe global organisations need a CXO level role to handle global supply chains? This could be linked to sustainability, price points, traceability…. Etc.. Happy to support the debate!
