In a recent Fast Company article - “AI is helping companies revolutionize the global supply chain” - Glen Clark, DP World's CEO of US/Mexico and Regional Head of Contract Logistics, explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally reshaping global supply chains. Clark emphasizes that AI-driven analytics provide businesses with unprecedented visibility, allowing them to predict disruptions, optimize logistics routes, and manage resources sustainably and efficiently.

Three Ways AI Transforms Global Supply Chains:

  • Predictive capabilities: AI enables proactive responses to supply chain disruptions, significantly reducing delays.
  • Operational efficiency: AI streamlines port operations, container movements, and logistics scheduling, leading to improved productivity.
  • Sustainability: By optimizing routes, inventory management, and equipment usage, AI significantly reduces emissions and waste, aligning closely with global sustainability goals.
