• Abstract: The integration of large language models (LLMs) into supply chain management (SCM) is revolutionizing the industry by improving decision-making, predictive analytics, and operational efficiency. This white paper explores the transformative impact of LLMs on various SCM functions, including demand forecasting, inventory management, supplier relationship management, and logistics optimization. By leveraging advanced data analytics and real-time insights, LLMs enable organizations to optimize resources, reduce costs, and improve responsiveness to market changes. Key findings highlight the benefits of integrating LLMs with emerging technologies such as IoT, blockchain, and robotics, which together create smarter and more autonomous supply chains. Ethical considerations, including bias mitigation and data protection, are taken into account to ensure fair and transparent AI practices. In addition, the paper discusses the need to educate the workforce on how to manage new AI-driven processes and the long-term strategic benefits of adopting LLMs. Strategic recommendations for SCM professionals include investing in high-quality data management, promoting cross-functional collaboration, and aligning LLM initiatives with overall business goals. The findings highlight the potential of LLMs to drive innovation, sustainability, and competitive advantage in the ever-changing supply chain management landscape.
