This interactive workshop brings together academia and industry to explore practical applications of AI in supply chain management. Building on findings from APMS 2025, participants will work in groups to develop use cases in demand forecasting, supplier management, quality control, logistics optimization, and risk management, with particular attention to data challenges, systems integration, reliability, and trustworthiness.

Join us to exchange ideas, identify practical solutions, and help shape future research directions for reliable AI-enabled supply chains. No advanced technical knowledge of AI is required.
