Materials requirements planning logistics and supply chain software

Technology category · O*NET

Materials requirements planning logistics and supply chain software is a technology category in the O*NET database. Across U.S. occupations, 50 report using software or tools in this category. The named products below are the specific examples O*NET records for those jobs. The occupations that use it sit, on average, at the 47th percentile of AI task-exposure ( moderate) — how much that work overlaps with what AI can do, not a sign the tool is being replaced. See where every tool category sits.

A Hot tag marks technologies O*NET sees frequently in employer job postings; In demand marks tools an occupation specifically requires.

Example software & tools

Ranked by how many occupations list each product. Each number is an occupation count — a job is counted once per product — so the product rows overlap and do not sum to the category total.

Occupations that use Materials requirements planning logistics and supply chain software

Showing 40 of 50 occupations.

Exposure quadrant: AI task-overlap percentile vs Median pay AI task-overlap (horizontal) versus median pay (vertical), each as a percentile across all scored occupations, for 39 occupations in occupations that use Materials requirements planning logistics and supply chain software. Overlap measures shared tasks with AI, not automation. Lower overlap · higher pay Higher overlap · higher pay Higher overlap · lower pay Lower overlap · lower pay Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators Industrial Truck and Tractor Operators Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists Mobile Heavy Equipment Mechanics, Except Engines Conveyor Operators and Tenders Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers Bakers Captains, Mates, and Pilots of Water Vessels First-Line Supervisors of Housekeeping and Janitorial Workers Railroad Conductors and Yardmasters Chefs and Head Cooks General and Operations Managers Industrial Engineering Technologists and Technicians Government Property Inspectors and Investigators Architectural and Engineering Managers Medical and Health Services Managers Mechanical Drafters Order Clerks Freight Forwarders AI task-overlap percentile → ↑ Median pay

How AI is used by roles that use Materials requirements planning logistics and supply chain software

A software category is not itself "being automated" — but we can look at the roles that report using Materials requirements planning logistics and supply chain software and ask how those people actually use AI. This rolls the Anthropic Economic Index per-role signal up across those roles, weighted by how much observed AI activity each one has. 60.0% of the 50 roles that use this category carry observed AI-usage data (30 roles).

Across those roles, 45.4% of AI conversations are people working with AI and 37.6% hand a task to AI , with an average autonomy of 3.69 / 5.

Collaboration pattern Share What it means
directive 35.0% AI does it; you give the instruction
task iteration 32.4% you and AI go back and forth
learning 11.4% you ask AI to explain or teach
feedback loop 2.6% AI does it, then adjusts from your feedback
validation 1.6% you do it; AI checks your work

Roles behind this signal

The roles using this category that have the most AEI data. "Works with AI" is the role's share of conversations that augment rather than automate.

Occupation Works with AI Autonomy
Architectural and Engineering Managers 66.3% 4.0/5
First-Line Supervisors of Housekeeping and Janitorial Workers 48.5% 4.0/5
Customer Service Representatives 35.5% 3.0/5
Medical and Health Services Managers 49.5% 4.0/5
Cooks, Restaurant 36.7% 4.0/5
Nanosystems Engineers 63.0% 4.0/5
Logistics Engineers 52.3% 4.0/5
Purchasing Managers 38.0% 3.0/5
General and Operations Managers 46.8% 3.5/5

Source: Anthropic Economic Index (2026-01-15-v4-plus-2025-03-27-v2) over a sample of Claude.ai Free and Pro conversations — not all AI tools and not the whole workforce. Roles list software categories in O*NET; this does not mean AI is used inside Materials requirements planning logistics and supply chain software, only that people in those roles use AI. Some conversations are left unclassified, so shares need not sum to 100.

Industries that concentrate this

Where Materials requirements planning logistics and supply chain software matters most across the economy. Employment reach is the share of an industry's workers in occupations that significantly use Materials requirements planning logistics and supply chain software (O*NET importance ≥ 3 of 5, or report using the tool category). Concentration compares that reach to the national average industry, so a value above 1× means the requirement is more pervasive here than across the economy as a whole.

Nationally, about 16.2% of workers are in occupations that significantly use Materials requirements planning logistics and supply chain software (measured across 67 industries).

Sectors with the most such workers

Sector Workers Employment reach
Transportation and Warehousing 3,836,170 51.9%
Retail Trade 3,589,780 23.0%
Manufacturing 3,118,760 24.4%
Accommodation and Food Services 2,335,370 16.4%
Wholesale Trade 1,951,280 32.3%
Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services 1,944,930 21.5%
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services 1,453,020 13.5%
Health Care and Social Assistance 1,272,700 5.5%
Finance and Insurance 777,140 12.5%
Construction 742,940 9.1%
Other Services (except Public Administration) 479,410 10.8%
Management of Companies and Enterprises 471,850 16.8%

Industries where it is most concentrated

Industry Level Concentration Employment reach
Transportation and Warehousing Sector 3.2× 51.9%
Engineering Services National industry 2.33× 37.8%
Wholesale Trade Sector 1.99× 32.3%
Temporary Help Services National industry 1.75× 28.4%

Machine Shops National industry 1.23× 19.9%
Testing Laboratories and Services National industry 1.16× 18.8%

Reach is a measure of how widespread a requirement is across an industry's workforce, not how intensively any individual uses it. Sector worker counts come from BLS OEWS employment; the significance threshold and tool use come from O*NET. Industries shown by concentration are filtered to a real worker base so a tiny specialty cannot top the list on rounding.
