Abstract

Traditional demand planning methods often struggle to keep pace with the complexity, volatility, and vast datasets inherent in modern supply chains. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a transformative solution, revolutionizing demand planning with its ability to analyze vast amount of data, identify complex patterns, and generate highly accurate forecasts. This paper explores the latest advancements in AI for demand planning, encompassing machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing (NLP). The focus is on how these techniques enhance demand sensing capabilities, incorporating real-time market signals, external data sources, and unstructured text information. Furthermore, the potential of AI to optimize inventory management, enable scenario planning, and increase supply chain resilience in response to unexpected disruptions are examined. The paper also addresses practical challenges in implementing AI-powered demand planning solutions, and outlines areas for future research. Most importantly, the paper provides the robust methologies to integrate the emerging AI developments in demand planning process.

Abstract

The networking hardware industry is characterized by unique challenges when it comes to supply chain management. These include unpredictable demand patterns, complex logistics, besides disruptions caused by rapid technological advancements. This paper explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into forecasting methodologies to enhance supply chain efficiency within the sector. Application of AI-driven forecasting models can help organizations improve demand predictions, refine inventory management, and streamline logistical operations. Drawing on recent research and industry practices, this article highlights the transformative impact of AI on supply chain efficiency and offers insights into best implementation practices. Furthermore, the research investigates the intersection of AI and networking hardware supply chain management, focusing on leveraging AI to analyze hardware failure patterns and interpret hardware-generated alarms and interrupts. By harnessing analytical capabilities of AI, modern organizations can extract actionable insights to reduce failure rates and enhance supply chain forecasting accuracy. This innovative approach enables more effective anticipation and preparation for hardware failures, optimizing spare part inventory management and minimizing the need for costly return merchandise authorizations (RMAs).
