Promotion and Events SpecialistThe value of Supply Chain Management Analytics runs deep, and its applications are endless. Enabling organizations to reduce costs, refine planning, and improve decision making, data holds the power to transform the efficiency of an organization’s supply chain. Consider the following insights gathered by McKinsey & Company after the onset of the global pandemic:
planned to make their supply chains more flexible, agile, and resilient
planned to increase digital supply chain talent in-house
expected changes to supply chain planning
Wharton’s Supply Chain Management Analytics program gives you a unique view into the workings of the supply chain and imparts future-forward strategies for supply chain success, all in a convenient online format. This six-week program will enable you to:
Any operations professional concerned with creating efficiency for their organization — and promoting their career — will realize value from this program. Through the intensive six-week curriculum, you will discover the vital connection between the supply chain and organizational success and how developing a proficiency in supply chain analytics can help propel your career into the future.
This program will be particularly beneficial for:
*Functional knowledge of probability, statistics, and linear algebra is required to get full value out of the program. Knowledge of R or the Python programming language is beneficial but not required.
This program is built around a number of frameworks that will help provide meaningful structure to your organization’s supply chain data.

The program follows a carefully curated curriculum that progresses through a series of six modules from developing a foundational understanding of supply chain analytics to addressing specific challenges encountered in the supply chain.
Without Supply Chain Management Analytics, data is just numbers. Supply chain analytics gives form — and meaning — to data, allowing organizations to develop an up-to-the-minute understanding of their supply chain’s health. During the first week, you will learn the importance of supply chain analytics and explore the fundamental elements of the supply chain, including its role, impact, and key challenges.
Learn the core components of an efficient supply chain model and explore potential solutions to navigate through uncertainty. Then, take an in-depth look at the newsvendor model, a mathematical model used in operations management to determine optimal inventory levels.
Relying on a combination of historical information, insights, and market intelligence about the future, forecasting enables organizations to build and maintain efficient supply chains. In this you will learn about the different methods of forecasting, review best-in-class examples, and apply the methods you’ve learned to see how forecasting informs the decision-making process.
Organizations must avoid out-of-stock merchandise, back orders, and delivery delays to remain competitive and respond to demand. Develop a thorough understanding of inventory decisions in the supply chain and the role that analytics plays. Review examples and use them to put optimization methods to the test.
Learn about network design, the role it plays in supply chain analytics, and the factors affecting network design decisions. Then, run an optimization model to polish your decision-making skills.
Examine current machine learning trends and learn what’s next for the supply chain. In addition, take a closer look at an important application of machine learning — forecasting.
