Data, analytics, and technology are transforming the way supply chain management is approached. This workshop will challenge students to redesign a transactional supply management structure in a multi-billion dollar company to a strategic organization.  By leveraging data analytics, professionals and leaders can gain valuable insights into their supply chain operations, detect anomalies, benchmark operations, and optimize strategic sourcing relationships.   As the lines between the digital and physical worlds continue to blur, it is essential for organizations to invest in effective analytics to mine data for valuable, proactive insights and accelerate intelligent decision-making. Technologies like AI, machine learning, and predictive analytics can be used to automate supply chain processes and create new customer experiences that increase satisfaction and boost sales. Students will explore using data, analytics and technology to transform the strategic effectiveness of corporation’s supply chain as measured by profit & loss statements, balance sheets, industry benchmarks, and emerging economies.
