This week, Daniel Stanton, DBA’s Supply Chained newsletter features "Vibe Coding for Supply Chains," a look at a topic that may reshape how supply chain teams solve problems. As AI tools continue evolving, we may be entering a world where planners, analysts, and operations professionals can describe challenges in plain language and rapidly build high fidelity prototypes without needing to learn about traditional software development processes. But speed creates new questions: ▶ Can faster development improve decision making? ▶ Where do governance and cybersecurity fit in? ▶ Does AI reduce the need for expertise, or make it even more valuable? ▶ How should organizations balance experimentation with reliability? One idea stood out from this discussion: AI may not be replacing supply chain professionals. Instead, it may be amplifying the impact of people who deeply understand supply chain operations. 🔗 Read Daniel Stanton, DBA’s latest Supply Chained edition, "Vibe Coding for Supply Chains," here: https://lnkd.in/gUspzAri 🔗 If topics like Digital Transformation, AI-enabled decision making, and the future of supply chain technology interest you, this edition is worth exploring.
