Managing Inventory In The Supply Chain, Matthew J. Drake

Open Education Materials

Inventory represents a significant investment for most organizations and enables its operations to fulfill customer requirements. Effective inventory management frees critical working capital that the organization can use elsewhere while making sure products and services are available for customers. This book discusses the fundamental concepts of managing inventory within the supply chain and also describes methods for making inventory decisions in a variety of business scenarios.

Ai Dependence And Its Impact On Human Decision-Making Quality And Supply Chain Efficiency, Jesus Salazar, Leonardo Fabbri, Axel Villegas

Posters - 2026

• Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming supply chain management by enabling:
  • Data-driven decision-making
  • Improved forecasting accuracy
  • Enhanced operational efficiency (Choudhary et al., 2023; Ivanov & Dolgui, 2021)
• AI applications such as predictive analytics support:
  • Inventory optimization, Logistics planning
  • Procurement decisions in real time
• However, increasing reliance on AI introduces risks:
  • Automation bias (over-trusting AI outputs)
  • Reduced human critical thinking
  • Overdependence on algorithmic recommendations (Raisch & Krakowski, 2021)
• This study examines the dual impact of AI dependence on:
  • Decision-making quality
  • Supply chain efficiency
• Objective:
  • Identify whether AI improves performance or reduces human effectiveness
  • Determine the optimal balance between AI support and human …

Using Ai-Based Predictive Scheduling To Improve Patient Flow And Reduce Wait Times In Healthcare Clinics, Oscar Martinez

Posters - 2026

• Healthcare systems face increasing challenges in patient access and wait times
• Average wait times for specialist care continue to rise, creating:
  • Delays in treatment
  • Reduced patient satisfaction
  • Increased system inefficiencies (Sanford, 2025)
• A major contributor is operational bottlenecks, defined as:
  • Points of congestion that slow or disrupt service flow
• Hospitals typically operate under process layouts, which:
  • Handle diverse patient needs
  • Reduce specialization efficiency
• Contributing factors to bottlenecks:
  • Physician shortages and burnout
  • Administrative burden
  • Inefficient scheduling systems (Moura & Pinho, 2025)
• AI offers potential solutions through:
  • Predictive scheduling
  • Automation of administrative processes
  • Data-driven optimization of patient flow

Ai-Scm Cmm: A Capability Maturity Model For Artificial Intelligence Integration In Supply Chain Management, Lordt Becklines, Omar F. El-Gayar, Patti Brooks, Insu Park

Annual Research Symposium

Artificial intelligence is increasingly deployed in supply chain management, yet many organizations struggle to align adoption efforts with process readiness, data quality, governance, and workforce capabilities, and they still lack validated supply chain specific roadmap for assessing readiness, sequencing investments, and reducing implementation risk. This study develops and evaluates a Capability Maturity Model for Artificial Intelligence Integration in Supply Chain Management to address that gap. Using a design science research approach, the study synthesizes prior literature and practitioner knowledge to define maturity dimensions, capability indicators, and staged progression levels for AI integration in supply chain contexts. The artifact and assessment …

Transport 2040: Truck Platooning: The Australian Case : Technology And Transformation, World Maritime University

Reports

This study details a transport mode, a specific technology option in a specific country. In particular, this study covers truck platooning in road transport, with the focus on Australia. The Transport 2040: Automation, Technology, Employment – The Future of Work Report identified a series of key trends in the context of future transport technologies vis-à-vis transport workers’ employment situation and the wider ramifications on the market. Some of these trends are mode-specific, technology-specific, or specific to a certain geographic location and thus they do not develop in the same manner in all local contexts.

Vehicle automation in the road sector, …

Transport 2040: Autonomous Ships: A New Paradigm For Norwegian Shipping : Technology And Transformation, World Maritime University

Reports
