摘要：	MARKET RESEARCH AND CONSULTING FIRM IDC recently released its top 10 predictions and underlying drivers that it expects will have the biggest impact of manufacturers' IT investments in 2022 and beyond. Perhaps the most relevant prediction for us was the following: "By 2023, 50% of all supply chain forecasts will be automated using artificial intelligence [AI], improving accuracy by 5 percentage points." That one caught my eye, given that everything the supply chain has been through going back to the onset of the pandemic. And while things have been uneven, the pandemic has highlighted the need for better supply chain forecasting for things such as supply chain resiliency, demand planning, inventory management, equipment and labor availability. IDC's analysis pulls no punches in explaining that manufacturers have been running supply chains for centuries, and, for nearly that entire period, it's something that they've agonized over. It offers this zinger to complete the working thesis: "The only thing that has been universally true about any forecast is that it will be wrong."
