Training Course on Artificial Intelligence and Automation in Supply Chain Management

Training Course on Artificial Intelligence and Automation in Supply Chain Management

Duration: 5 Days

Location: Nairobi

Course Overview
As global supply chains become increasingly complex and data-driven, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation technologies are emerging as critical enablers of supply chain resilience, agility, and competitiveness. This course is designed to provide professionals with a deep understanding of how AI, machine learning, robotic automation, and intelligent systems are transforming supply chain functions—from procurement to logistics, demand forecasting, inventory optimization, and customer service.
Participants will explore the practical applications of AI in real-time decision-making, predictive analytics, and risk management. The course highlights how automation tools such as Robotic Process Automation (RPA), smart warehousing solutions, and autonomous logistics systems are streamlining operations and reducing human error. With a focus on hands-on application, participants will be introduced to AI-powered tools, algorithms, and platforms that can be integrated into supply chain operations to improve speed, accuracy, and efficiency.
Through case studies, system demonstrations, and scenario-based group activities, the course bridges the gap between technology concepts and operational realities. Participants will also learn about ethical considerations, data governance, and change management strategies essential for successful AI adoption.
