We think of AI as living inside computers — but it's reshaping the very physical world of fashion and manufacturing. Jonathan Green talks with operations and supply-chain advisor Omnya Elshafey about how AI is changing fashion: why the industry still isn't fully automated, how to keep warehouses lean, and how small companies can run an entire supply chain through disruption they can't control.
Key Takeaways:
• AI is reshaping fashion and manufacturing in the physical world, not just on screens
• Fashion still isn't fully automated — there's huge room (and friction) for AI
• Keep as little inventory in your warehouses as possible — lean beats bloated
• Global shocks (like the Middle East conflict) hit supply chains you can't control — build resilience
• Even a small company can manage its entire supply chain with the right systems
