In-depth technology and strategy analysis
ARC Advisory Group’s white papers provide in-depth analysis of the technologies, risks, and operating shifts reshaping global supply chains. Each paper is written for senior supply chain, logistics, and operations leaders who need clear, decision-relevant insight grounded in real-world deployments and market evidence. The series below reflects the most consequential areas of change currently affecting supply chain strategy and execution.
AI in the Supply Chain
This series examines how artificial intelligence is being applied across supply chain planning, execution, and decision support, separating practical deployment from experimentation and hype.
Key areas include:
- Applied AI in demand planning, forecasting, and inventory optimization
- Machine learning in transportation, warehousing, and manufacturing execution
- Decision intelligence and human-in-the-loop systems
- Governance, data quality, and model trust
The focus is on where AI is delivering measurable operational value today and what is required to scale it responsibly.
Cybersecurity in the Supply Chain
This series addresses the growing cyber risk surface created by digital supply chains, connected systems, and extended partner networks.
Key areas include:
- Cyber risk in supply chain software, OT systems, and connected assets
- Third-party and supplier risk management
- Ransomware, data integrity, and operational resilience
- Cybersecurity frameworks and best practices for supply chain leaders
These papers focus on protecting continuity, safety, and trust in increasingly interconnected supply chain environments.
Energy in the Supply Chain
This series explores how energy availability, cost, and infrastructure are becoming strategic supply chain variables rather than background considerations.
Key areas include:
- Energy constraints in transportation, warehousing, and manufacturing
- Electrification of fleets and facilities
- Energy management systems and demand response
- Grid reliability, energy markets, and supply chain risk
White paper forthcoming.
Sustainability in the Supply Chain
This series examines how sustainability initiatives are being translated into operational reality across global supply chains.
Key areas include:
- Emissions measurement and reporting
- Sustainable transportation and logistics strategies
- Supplier transparency and traceability
- Regulatory pressures and compliance requirements
White paper forthcoming.
Connected Vehicles in the Supply Chain
This series analyzes how connected vehicles and V2X technologies are transforming transportation operations and logistics networks.
Key areas include:
- Telematics, vehicle connectivity, and real-time visibility
- Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication
- Safety, efficiency, and predictive maintenance
- Data integration between vehicles, fleets, and enterprise systems
White paper forthcoming.
Digital Twins in the Supply Chain
This series explores how digital twins are being used to model, simulate, and optimize complex supply chain systems.
Key areas include:
- Network-level and asset-level digital twins
- Scenario planning and risk simulation
- Integration with planning, execution, and IoT data
- Limits, assumptions, and governance of digital twin models
White paper forthcoming.
Accessing the Research
Additional white papers in this series will be released on a rolling basis.
