Project Abstract

Abstract
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into supply chain management has become a focal point for organizations seeking to enhance operational efficiency and competitiveness in the dynamic retail industry. This research project aims to analyze the impact of AI on supply chain management within the retail sector, focusing on the benefits, challenges, and implications of AI adoption. The study will explore how AI technologies such as machine learning, predictive analytics, and autonomous systems are transforming traditional supply chain practices and reshaping the retail landscape. The research will begin with a comprehensive literature review that examines existing studies, theories, and frameworks related to AI in supply chain management and the retail industry. By synthesizing insights from scholarly articles, industry reports, and case studies, this review aims to provide a solid theoretical foundation for understanding the role of AI in driving innovation and efficiency in retail supply chains. Subsequently, the research methodology will employ a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative data analysis and qualitative case studies to investigate the real-world impact of AI on supply chain operations in retail organizations. Through surveys, interviews, and data analysis, the study will assess key performance indicators such as cost savings, inventory management, demand forecasting accuracy, and customer satisfaction to evaluate the tangible benefits of AI adoption. The findings of this research project are expected to shed light on the significant implications of AI technologies in optimizing supply chain processes, streamlining logistics operations, and enhancing customer experiences in the retail industry. By identifying the key success factors and challenges associated with AI implementation, this study aims to provide practical insights and recommendations for retail managers and decision-makers seeking to leverage AI for competitive advantage. In conclusion, this research project will contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on supply chain management in the retail sector. By highlighting the opportunities and challenges of AI adoption, the study aims to inform strategic decision-making and facilitate the adoption of AI-driven solutions to drive innovation, efficiency, and sustainability in retail supply chains.
