A testbed built around one of management education’s most enduring simulations, the MIT Beer Distribution Game, has shown that the latest generation of generative AI models can now autonomously manage supply chains. Systems using advanced reasoning models like GPT-5 and Llama 4 adapted to changing conditions, minimized costs, and overcame the bullwhip effect. But managers should be aware that success depends on model selection, guardrails, curated data sharing, and prompt design. Such autonomous AI agents will allow human managers to focus on higher-value functions.
