A Strategic Framework for Implementing and Scaling Artificial Intelligence in Operations Management

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the landscape of operations management, offering opportunities to streamline processes, enhance decision-making, and drive efficiency. This paper proposes a strategic framework for effectively implementing and scaling AI technologies in operations management across industries. The framework focuses on aligning AI initiatives with organizational goals, leveraging data-driven insights, and optimizing operations through automation and predictive analytics. The paper outlines key challenges and strategies for overcoming barriers to AI adoption, including integration with existing systems, workforce transformation, and ethical considerations. The proposed framework provides a roadmap for executives and practitioners to strategically deploy AI solutions that yield sustainable, long-term value.
