The MIT Digital Supply Chain Transformation Lab (MIT Digital SC Lab) explores how digital technologies like AI, automation, and advanced analytics are transforming the way companies design, plan, and run their supply chains. There’s more to digital transformation than new tech. It’s about reimagining how organizations collaborate, make decisions, and deliver value.
Our research focuses on the new capabilities and supply chain partnerships that make these outcomes possible so that supply chains can be more agile, flexible, and ready for the future. Digital supply chain transformation secures measurable impacts, including:
- Process cost reductions of up to 50%
- New revenue gains of up to 20%
- Increased trust in AI decisions and results
- Exponential scalability for automating processes
Digital Transformation of a Holistic Supply Chain
Research Areas
Human-AI Collaboration
By combining human insights with the power of artificial intelligence, we help organizations fundamentally upgrade their core operational performance.
Scaling End-to-End Automation Roadmap
We explore how to move from automation pilot projects to full integration, from suppliers to final customers, fundamentally transforming core tasks to deliver exponential operational output.
Autonomous Operations
We help organizations achieve true operational independence, where systems self-manage to guarantee consistent and efficient performance.
