The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Supply Chain Operations in the Apparel Industry: A Systematic Literature Review

摘要

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in supply chain operations has emerged as a transformative force in the apparel industry, addressing key challenges related to sustainability, operational efficiency, and supplier selection.This systematic literature review (SLR) investigates the role of AI in enhancing these aspects of the apparel supply chain.A structured search was conducted across academic databases, including IEEE Xplore, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar, using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria.From an initial pool of 188 studies, 15 were selected for in-depth analysis.The results highlight that AI-driven solutions such as machine learning, computer vision, and robotics significantly improve demand forecasting, quality control, and supply chain resilience.However, challenges such as high implementation costs and integration with legacy systems hinder widespread adoption, particularly for smaller firms.The review concludes that while AI offers substantial benefits, further research is required to develop more accessible AI tools and enhance the industry's sustainability efforts.
