Supply Chain Management in the Digital Economy: Case Studies of Deep Learning Technology Applications

Abstract

Supply chain management (SCM) is pivotal in orchestrating the flow of goods and services from suppliers to consumers, fundamentally shaping business operations worldwide. However, traditional SCM faces significant limitations, such as inefficiencies in handling complex data structures and adapting to rapid market changes, which undermine operational effectiveness. The application of deep learning technologies in SCM is increasingly recognized as crucial, offering powerful tools for real-time visibility, predictive analytics, and enhanced decision-making capabilities. We propose a VAE-GNN-DRL network model that integrates Variational Autoencoder (VAE), Graph Neural Network (GNN), and Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) to address these challenges by efficiently processing and analyzing complex supply chain data.
