Differences of Opinion in Logistics Industry
The survey interestingly revealed a disparity in what the two groups of leaders are concerned about when it comes to AI implementation.
Executives are most worried about production disruption while inventory costs, reputation, and staying compliant are the biggest red flags for the supply chain leaders.
What unites them, though, is the belief that companies need to stop simply reacting – and therefore existing day-to-day when it comes to AI – and instead focus on planning ahead.
Global manufacturing and supply chain company Fictiv reported that 34% of shipping and logistics firms don’t even have a digital transformation strategy.
Leaders in the logistics world can see the benefits of AI integration but a lack of foresight and planning now means that they are working with systems that struggling and are having to be reactive instead of proactive.
