Supply Chain Planning

Supply chain planning is an important activity in any supply chain. This is where organizations get an idea of the upcoming demand, realize if they have the capacity to meet the demand, and determine how to realize these demands. In this course, we will explore how to use data science to conduct demand and supply planning, how to constrain the forecast, and how to measure the results. As we walk through this process, we will also explore how to use Excel to quantify each step

• Describe the relationship between demand planning, supply planning, and constrained forecasting
• Use Excel to analyze historical data and forecast future needs
• Measure and analyze results to improve performance

• Basic familiarity with supply chain terminology
• Willingness to engage in practical exercises
• Basic Excel skills
