Dear Colleagues,
Logistics is pleased to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue titled “Artificial Intelligence and Business Analytics Applications in Supply Chain Operations”. It will focus on the relevance and managerial implications of two emerging technological tools, artificial intelligence (AI) and business analytics, for supply chain practices in the era of the fourth and fifth industrial revolutions. This Special Issue aims to encourage contributing scholars to conduct state-of-the-art theoretical and empirical research on the usefulness of AI and business analytics in enhancing supply chain productivity in the 21st century.
This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge research and innovative perspectives on various aspects of AI and business analytics. Topics of interest include supply chain analytics; machine learning algorithms for demand planning, inventory planning, logistics planning, and sourcing; smart warehousing and manufacturing; autonomous trucking; drone technology applications to last-mile delivery; delivery service providers for last-mile delivery; AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT and Co-Pilot) for supply chain ecosystem and resilience; and AI (e.g., neural network) applications in healthcare logistics and production scheduling.
Other topics related to generative AI issues or business analytics applications are welcome, provided they focus on the successful applications of AI and business analytics in logistics managerial problem-solving and innovative supply chain practices.
