Exploring Options to Improve Supply Chain Operations: A Review of Current Approaches and New Opportunities in Demand Forecasting, Robotic Process Automation, and Cyber Integrity

14 Mar 2024

The U.S. Air Force (USAF) has had long-standing concerns about its supply chains and their potential for degradation. Given the varied types of resources for which USAF manages the supply chains, RAND researchers identified technology and investment options to mitigate supply chain degradation, focusing specifically on forecasting demand for legacy aircraft spare parts, applying robotic process automation, and mitigating cyber integrity risks.
