Stuck reacting to supply chain disruptions instead of preventing them?
The situation this course is for
Even with analytics experience, operational leaders often lack the structured, real-time framework to anticipate bottlenecks, forecast demand shifts, or optimize logistics without over-relying on centralized data teams. The result? Delays, margin erosion, and fire-drilling instead of forward-driving.
Who this is for
Strategic operations leader with analytics experience, now responsible for end-to-end supply chain decisions in a scaling organization
Who this is not for
Entry-level analysts, consultants without execution authority, or those seeking theoretical models without implementation tools
What you walk away with

- Build self-updating dashboards that require zero coding
- Cut demand forecast error by aligning historical patterns with real-time signals
- Optimize inventory turnover using dynamic safety stock formulas
- Lead cross-functional teams with data-backed decision narratives
