Course details
Time Series Analysis: This unit focuses on understanding and analyzing historical data to identify patterns and trends, which is crucial for supply chain forecasting accuracy. •
Regression Analysis: This unit teaches students how to use regression models to predict continuous outcomes, such as demand or inventory levels, and is essential for building accurate forecasting models. •
Machine Learning Fundamentals: This unit provides a solid foundation in machine learning concepts, including supervised and unsupervised learning, neural networks, and deep learning, which are critical for developing accurate forecasting models. •
Supply Chain Optimization: This unit explores the use of machine learning and data analytics to optimize supply chain operations, including demand forecasting, inventory management, and logistics planning. •
Data Preprocessing and Cleaning: This unit emphasizes the importance of data quality and provides techniques for preprocessing and cleaning data, which is essential for building accurate forecasting models. •
Ensemble Methods: This unit introduces students to ensemble methods, which combine multiple models to improve forecasting accuracy and robustness, and is a key concept in supply chain forecasting. •
Seasonal Decomposition: This unit teaches students how to decompose time series data into trend, seasonal, and residual components, which is essential for identifying and modeling seasonal patterns in supply chain data. •
Forecasting with ARIMA and SARIMA: This unit provides an introduction to autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) models, which are widely used for time series forecasting in supply chains. •
Deep Learning for Supply Chain Forecasting: This unit explores the application of deep learning techniques, such as recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, to supply chain forecasting problems. •
Interpretability and Explainability: This unit emphasizes the importance of model interpretability and explainability in supply chain forecasting, and provides techniques for understanding and visualizing model predictions and decisions.
