Supply chains are vital to the global economy, and so, increasing efficiency in supply chain management is of utmost importance. Modernizing technology has allowed for various uses of machine learning to be possible in several aspects of supply chains, specifically in demand forecasting with prediction models, and customer relations with chat-bots. While this may be the case, many organizations are reluctant to implement such solutions due to potential threats to their privacy. In addition to this, some currently existing solutions do not take special care for privacy preservation. This brings the question of, "How can privacy be preserved in machine learning based applications in supply chains?" The results of this survey show that several approaches for privacy-preservation of machine learning applications exist, and can be applied to supply chains while maintaining increased efficiency in supply chain management. ...
