The White House has launched the Supply Chain Resilience Center (SCRC) to strengthen America’s supply chains. The SCRC will initially focus on U.S. port infrastructure and security, then provide recommendations on reducing costs, limiting supply chain disruptions, and ensuring delivery reliability. The implementation of AI in procurement and the supply chain can accelerate data sharing and increase collaboration. AI technology can improve MRO management by eliminating the need for traditional data cleanses and providing a single source of truth for data. AI can also enhance internal and external collaboration, helping organizations stay on top of supply chain disruptions and meet objectives. Moving forward, AI-powered procurement can automate repetitive tasks, allowing managers to focus on strategic activities. Although technology can handle complex tasks, the human element remains critical. Procurement can work wonders when overseeing AI-powered systems.
