Ford's Subhasish Roychoudhury on building a unified supply chain data foundation, modernising TMS and preparing for agentic AI
Ford's executive director of supply chain technology explains how unified data, supplier collaboration, TMS modernisation and AI are reshaping Ford's supply chain strategy.
Ford Motor Company has spent the past three years undertaking one of the most significant supply chain technology transformations in its recent history.
Speaking with Automotive Logistics' chief content officer Christopher Ludwig at Automotive Logistics & Supply Chain Digital Strategies North America 2026, Subhasish Roychoudhury, executive director of supply chain technology at Ford, outlined how the company has evolved from managing supply chain disruption in the wake of Covid-19 and the semiconductor shortage to building a more connected, predictive and digitally enabled supply chain ecosystem.
Central to that transformation has been investment in supplier collaboration, transportation and warehouse management systems, ERP modernisation and a common data architecture designed to connect information across Ford's industrial operations.
Roychoudhury explains how Ford's focus on data ontology and digital foundations is helping the company accelerate system integration, improve supplier visibility and prepare for wider adoption of AI and agentic technologies across supply chain operations.
