Agentic AI for Supply Chain Management

This intensive 1-day programme is the advanced capstone of the Gen AI in SCM series. Supply chain teams
spend significant time reacting to disruptions, shortages, supplier delays, demand changes, and planning
exceptions. This intensive programme shows participants how Agentic AI can continuously monitor these
signals, recommend actions, and automate routine decision workflows while maintaining human oversight.
Through realistic manufacturing and supply chain scenarios, participants will design and build agents that
support procurement, inventory management, production planning, logistics coordination, and supplier
management — with human oversight built in throughout.
Through live demonstrations, the 7-Component Agent Design Canvas, and a hands-on build sprint, you
will design and prototype your first SCM agent using no-code tools. The day culminates in a team pitch
presenting a real agent business case to a simulated leadership panel.
