Past Appearances

Today’s book explains why supply chains are complicated to operate. Fortunately, future managers can employ a combination of suitably educated employees and digital technology to manage ever-higher complexity successfully. Our guest is the author of a 1985 textbook on transportation networks and eight management books dealing with supply chain resilience, sustainability, and industrial clustering; we welcome the author of The Magic Conveyor Belt: Supply Chains, A.I., and The Future of Work, we welcome Professor Yossi Sheffi.

Private Event

Attend CSCMP to hear Professor Yossi Sheffi as a closing speaker. The conversation will cover the promise of AI to increase supply chain efficiency while meeting societal goals. It will also cover the challenge of integrating people and algorithms as well the future of jobs. Which jobs will disappear? Which will change? And how companies and people should prepare for the AI-infused future.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the hottest topics in supply chain management today. Some experts believe that exciting innovations in machine learning, large language models and generative AI will transform how networks are designed and orchestrated. Others claim AI is an overhyped and potentially dangerous distraction. Attend this panel discussion to identify realistic ways to apply AI in your supply chain organization.

Join Dr. Yossi Sheffi, MIT Professor and Director of the Center for Transportation and Logistics, at ASCM 2023! His keynote talk will inspire you and help you discover how human-AI partnership shapes the supply chain in this era of innovation. Gain insights from Dr. Sheffi's expertise in supply chain management, optimization, and risk analysis, and explore the potential of human-AI synergy in navigating challenges.

Private Event 

Professor Yossi Sheffi will give an address to the graduates of the institute. The government of Ningbo, China — home of the world’s busiest port — partnered with the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics in 2016 to create a global center for supply chain education and research. The Institute's mission is to become an international center of excellence for research and education in logistics and supply chain management after a decade’s effort. 

Professor Yossi Sheffi brings his latest research and insights with him to Ningbo China in a talk he will give in-person, focused on his recent book The Magic Conveyor Belt: Supply Chains, AI and the Future of Work. 

How could AI impact Supply Chain? What does the future hold for Supply Chain with AI in the picture? Where will AI thrive in inductry?
