Abstract	Ant colonies display exceptional efficiency and adaptability through decentralized coordination, division of labor, and effective waste management. Drawing on studies in behavioral ecology, entomology, and robotics, this paper explores how ant colony dynamics parallel modern supply chain management (SCM). Insights from recent research reveal that bio-inspired models based on ant behavior can enhance sustainability, optimize logistics, and support the development of autonomous, self-healing systems.
