Abstract

Predictive analytics is revolutionizing supply chain management by providing advanced tools for anticipating future trends and optimizing operational efficiency. This paper explores the transformative impact of predictive analytics on various aspects of supply chain optimization, including demand forecasting, inventory management, supplier performance, risk management, and logistics efficiency. By leveraging historical data, real-time inputs, and sophisticated algorithms, predictive models enable organizations to make informed decisions that enhance accuracy, reduce costs, and improve overall supply chain resilience. The integration of artificial intelligence, big data, and emerging technologies such as blockchain is further advancing the capabilities of predictive analytics, driving innovations in supply chain operations. This paper also examines future trends in predictive analytics, emphasizing the role of AI, real-time data integration, and sustainability efforts. Through a comprehensive review of current practices and future directions, the paper highlights the critical role of predictive analytics in achieving a competitive edge and ensuring long-term success in an increasingly complex global supply chain environment.
