About the Course

Inventory analytics is the corner stone of supply chain analytics. A company in trade industries may have 30-50% of their assets tied up in inventory. An effective inventory management can improve revenue by increasing product variety and availability, and reduce cost and speed up cash cycle by reducing excessive inventory and waste. Through real-life examples (e.g., Amazon vs. Macy’s), you will learn hands-on tools and skills to discover and solve inventory problems by data analytics. Upon completion, you can answer the following questions: 1. For which industries is inventory important? 2. How may inventory drive a company’s financial performance? 3. How do I know that I have an inventory problem? 4. How to classify inventory and manage it accordingly? Note: This course is for beginners and thus focuses more on discovering inventory problems than solving them. It is my belief that discovering a problem and knowing which directions to go is at least equally important as solving the problem. We are planning to launch new courses or expand this course to cover more sophisticated inventory solutions in the future - thank you....

The name of the course is deceptive, macro level concepts are being taught without actual deep dive into how to manage inventory

Boring and inefficient. Heavily relied on a third-party application to compile graphs and charts of data raw data that cannot be seen by the user. The instructions don't align with the features available in said application, making the assignments confusing and doomed to fail. Lastly, anyone can read a graph or chart. I didn't take this course to read a graph, I took it in the hopes that I could learn how to use and manipulate raw data to formulate analytics over it. I got 75% through before I realized that wasn't going to happen and immediately stopped wasting my time with an application I'll never ever use again in any professional setting. I never even got to use Excel. How pathetic.
