AI power your business
Artificial intelligence (AI) is already being used widely by businesses but a new course aims to equip people to benefit companies and help them stay competitive.
AI is reshaping how goods move and how decisions are made. Professionals have a chance to upskill quickly and affordably through a new Postgraduate Certificate in Applied AI in Supply Chain Management. It’s delivered online by Atlantic Technological University (ATU) in partnership with CILT Mobility & Supply Chain Skillnet.
This Level 9, 30-ECTS programme—subsidised by the Government of Ireland and the EU—offers practical training for anyone working in supply chain, logistics, procurement, operations, or related sectors. The focus is simple: use AI to make better decisions, cut costs, and build more resilient supply chains.
AI’s strengths are already clear. Businesses using AI-driven forecasting have reduced stockouts and excess inventory, ensuring products are available when needed without tying up capital in slow-moving stock. AI also supports smarter inventory planning by continuously learning from data and adjusting reorder points in real time. These gains don’t require complex coding—just the ability to use modern AI tools and interpret their outputs.
Risk management is another area where AI is proving its value. By scanning real-time data, AI systems help businesses anticipate disruptions earlier and respond faster, reducing the impact of delays, shortages, and rising costs. With Irish companies under pressure from global volatility and sustainability demands, the need for sharper, data-driven insight has never been greater.
The course is designed for working professionals and combines interactive lectures, case studies, and hands-on workshops. Participants learn how to build demand-forecasting models, map risks, and apply AI-enabled decision-making in modern, circular supply chains.
Ethical AI and data governance are also covered to ensure graduates can implement AI responsibly and strategically.
Whether you’re aiming to boost your organisation’s performance or elevate your own career, this programme provides the tools to turn AI from a buzzword into real operational impact. Places are now open for the 1 December intake. Visit ciltskillnet.ie.
