Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in supply chain management is rapidly transforming how manufacturing companies optimize operations and make strategic decisions. However, manufacturers in low-income countries are fraught with persistent challenges, such as inadequate infrastructure, frequent supply disruptions and lack of technical know-how, that hinder AI supply chain management adoption. This study investigates the impact of internal and external factors on AI-driven supply chain management. Using multiple regression analysis, the results reveal that all five variables significantly and positively affect AI-driven supply chain management. Management support (β = 0.411, p < 0.05) emerged as the strongest predictor, underscoring the pivotal role of executive leadership in digital transformation. Workforce digital skill (β = 0.256, p < 0.05) and technology infrastructure (β = 0.215, p < 0.05) were also found to be critical enablers of effective AI-driven supply chain management. Additionally, market complexity (β = 0.103, p < 0.05) and competitive pressure (β = 0.295, p < 0.05) act as external motivators that push firms toward adopting AI technologies to maintain agility and competitiveness. The study concludes that a successful transition to AI-driven supply chains requires a holistic approach that combines internal readiness with strategic responses to external pressures. Therefore, for AI-driven supply chain management to succeed, manufacturing companies must ensure strong support from senior leadership, invest in workforce digital skills training and upgrade their digital infrastructure to support AI integration.
