Shashank gives me some insights into the projects they’re working on and what the results have been and how AI will continue to impact logistics. It’s fascinating stuff to an outsider like me. To Shashank and his team, though, it’s just another day at work. Shashank, by the way, is the Jim W. Thompson Professor at the Department of Supply Chain Management at Auburn’s Harbert College of Business.
