Course details
Time Series Analysis: This unit focuses on the application of statistical methods to analyze historical data and identify patterns, which is crucial for demand forecasting in supply chain management. •
Regression Analysis: This unit teaches students how to use regression analysis to model the relationship between variables, such as demand and seasonality, to make accurate predictions. •
Machine Learning for Demand Forecasting: This unit introduces students to machine learning algorithms, such as neural networks and decision trees, to build predictive models for demand forecasting in supply chain management. •
Data Mining for Supply Chain Optimization: This unit explores the use of data mining techniques to identify trends and patterns in large datasets, which can inform supply chain decisions and improve demand forecasting. •
Supply Chain Integration: This unit examines the role of supply chain integration in demand forecasting, including the use of collaborative planning, forecasting, and replenishment (CPFR) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. •
Seasonal and Trend Analysis: This unit focuses on the analysis of seasonal and trend patterns in demand data, which is essential for building accurate demand forecasting models. •
Exponential Smoothing Methods: This unit introduces students to exponential smoothing methods, such as simple exponential smoothing (SES) and Holt's method, which are commonly used for demand forecasting in supply chain management. •
Bayesian Methods for Demand Forecasting: This unit explores the use of Bayesian methods, such as Bayesian linear regression and Bayesian neural networks, to build probabilistic models for demand forecasting. •
Supply Chain Risk Management: This unit examines the role of supply chain risk management in demand forecasting, including the identification and mitigation of risks such as supply chain disruptions and demand volatility. •
Big Data Analytics for Supply Chain Decision Making: This unit introduces students to big data analytics techniques, such as Hadoop and Spark, to analyze large datasets and inform supply chain decisions, including demand forecasting.
