UW E-Business Consortium

Our AI in Supply Chain event is ONE WEEK AWAY!

📍 Hybrid
📆 July 28, 2026
⏰ 9:00 am - 2:00 pm CT

AI is quickly becoming part of the supply chain conversation, but many organizations are still working to separate practical applications from hype.

This UWEBC session will explore how supply chain teams are using AI to improve planning, automate routine work, identify risks earlier, and support stronger day-to-day and strategic decision-making.

Madhav Durbha, Group Vice President, CPG & Manufacturing at RELEX Solutions, will share his AI learning journey and discuss how individuals and organizations can prepare to adopt these technologies. John Cavey, Director of Supply Chain Excellence at Mercury Marine, will also share how his team is building AI readiness across its supply chain.

Participants will examine real-world applications such as improving demand planning, streamlining reporting and data cleanup, summarizing supplier and logistics information, and more quickly identifying delays or unusual trends.

The discussion will also address data readiness, employee adoption, change management, costs, and the areas where human judgment remains essential.
