Supply Chain Analytics Training for the People Driving Forecasts, Inventory, and Service
From forecasting and inventory to customer delivery and cost, supply chain analytics is how decisions scale. This course is designed for planners, analysts, and managers who need to turn numbers into action.
Whether your team is buried in spreadsheets or flooded with dashboards, we help them cut through the noise, spot the signal, and move the needle.
Supply Chain Analytics Training That Turns Data Into Smarter Decisions
Analytics isn't just about dashboards, it's about decisions. This course gives your supply chain teams the tools to make better calls, faster. From foundational metrics to predictive models and machine learning, they'll master techniques that drive results across planning, procurement, logistics, and beyond.
Core Metrics & Analytical Thinking
- Supply Chain Data Foundations
Learn the types of data supply chains generate, from transactional to sensor-based and how to assess relevance, accuracy, and reliability for decision-making. - Essential Supply Chain KPIs
Master the metrics that matter: forecast accuracy, OTIF, inventory turnover, and more. Understand what they mean, how to calculate them, and what good looks like. - Analytical Mindset & Bias Reduction
Help teams move beyond gut feel. Equip them to use data to challenge assumptions, validate ideas, and spot false signals.
Descriptive & Diagnostic Analytics in Action
- Making Sense of What Happened
Use statistical techniques, including averages, variances, and probability distributions, to extract insight from past performance and identify trends. - Root Cause Identification
Learn structured approaches to diagnosing performance problems, whether it's a missed service level, inventory imbalance, or supplier failure. - Diagnostic Tools & Techniques
Apply correlation, Pareto analysis, and control charts to understand what's driving outcomes and where to focus improvements.
Predictive Models That Strengthen Planning
- Forecasting with Confidence
Explore techniques like moving average, exponential smoothing, and regression analysis to improve demand planning and inventory decisions. - Statistical Testing & Hypothesis Validation
Equip teams to challenge their assumptions using confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and error analysis. - Scenario Planning
Model what-if scenarios for supplier risk, demand spikes, and logistics delays, then plan proactively based on the insights.
Advanced Techniques: Machine Learning & Control Towers
- Machine Learning Fundamentals
Understand the difference between supervised and unsupervised learning, including clustering, classification, and anomaly detection. - Clustering & Segmentation
Use K-means and other clustering methods to group products, customers, or locations for targeted planning strategies. - Control Tower Use Cases
See how supply chain control towers consolidate data, improve visibility, and accelerate cross-functional decision-making.
Strategic Analytics: Competitive Intelligence & Real-World Best Practice
- Amazon's Supply Chain Strategy
Break down how Amazon uses data, automation, and analytics to reduce lead times, drive customer satisfaction, and manage complexity at scale. - IoT in Analytics
Learn how Internet of Things devices provide continuous, granular data—and how that data can be harnessed for competitive advantage. - Sustainable & Resilient Supply Chains
Explore how data helps measure ESG goals, monitor supplier risk, and build more agile, adaptable networks.
