The comprehensive study delves into the digital transformation of logistics processes, emphasizing the strategic integration of cutting-edge technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning algorithms, and advanced automated systems.Empirical research reveals a key finding: suppliers contribute between 50% and 80% of the total value chain, underscoring the strategic importance of implementing efficient, data-driven, and customized management approaches. Projections to 2025 anticipate significant technological benefits from the implementation of AI in mining supply chains, including significant operational improvements: 15-20% reduction in operating costs, 20-30% improvement in inventory efficiency, 25-35% optimization in maintenance, and a targeted 30-40% reduction in downtime.The proposed innovative model synthesizes predictive planning, intelligent sourcing, algorithmic operations, and interconnected logistics, fundamentally revolutionizing traditional supply chain management through cutting-edge technological solutions that drive operational excellence and strategic adaptability in the mining sector.
