Abstract The increasing complexity of global supply chains demands intelligent systems capable of providing specialized guidance on logistics, procurement, inventory management, and operational optimization. This paper presents a comprehensive methodology for fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) to create domain-specialized supply chain agents. We developed a novel data pipeline that extracts, processes, and transforms 131 authoritative supply chain textbooks and professional resources into 161,741 high-quality question-answer training pairs using an automated bootstrapping approach with GPT-4o-mini. Using supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on GPT-4.1-mini via Microsoft Azure AI Foundry, we achieved strong training convergence (73% token accuracy, final loss 0.94) and 87% expert-rated correctness on held-out evaluation samples. Our results demonstrate that domain-specific fine-tuning significantly enhances LLM performance on supply chain reasoning tasks, producing models capable of explaining causal relationships, evaluating trade-offs, and providing actionable insights grounded in established supply chain principles. The methodology presented offers a reproducible framework for creating domain-specialized AI agents in enterprise domains.
