Course details
•
Time Series Analysis: This unit focuses on the use of historical data to identify patterns and trends in demand, which is a crucial aspect of supply chain demand forecasting methods. •
Exponential Smoothing (ES): This unit covers the application of ES, a popular forecasting method that uses weighted averages to forecast future demand, and its variants such as Simple ES, Holt's ES, and Holt-Winters ES. •
Seasonal Decomposition: This unit explains the process of decomposing time series data into its trend, seasonal, and residual components, which is essential for accurate demand forecasting. •
ARIMA (AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average) Modeling: This unit introduces the use of ARIMA models, which are widely used for forecasting demand in supply chains, and their application in supply chain demand forecasting methods. •
Machine Learning for Demand Forecasting: This unit explores the use of machine learning algorithms, such as regression, decision trees, and neural networks, to forecast demand in supply chains. •
Data Mining for Demand Forecasting: This unit covers the application of data mining techniques, such as clustering and association rule mining, to identify patterns and trends in demand data. •
Supply Chain Integration: This unit emphasizes the importance of integrating demand forecasting with other supply chain functions, such as inventory management and production planning, to ensure seamless supply chain operations. •
Cloud Computing for Demand Forecasting: This unit discusses the use of cloud computing platforms to support demand forecasting, including the benefits and challenges of using cloud-based forecasting tools. •
Big Data Analytics for Demand Forecasting: This unit explores the use of big data analytics to support demand forecasting, including the application of Hadoop, Spark, and other big data technologies. •
Supply Chain Risk Management: This unit covers the importance of managing risks associated with demand forecasting, including the impact of supply chain disruptions and the use of risk management strategies to mitigate these risks.
