Agentic AI refers to software agents that continuously monitor supply chain data, detect emerging issues, and recommend potential responses.

These agents act like digital planners observing demand signals, inventory levels, supplier performance, and operational disruptions. They identify problems and suggest actions-faster than human teams could manually review the same data.

However, today's AI agents are not fully autonomous decision makers. Most implementations use a human-in-the-loop model: AI agents identify potential issues and recommend actions, while human planners evaluate those recommendations and make final decisions.

This balance combines the speed and pattern-detection of AI with human judgment and accountability.
