The course provides hands-on logistics technology experience using an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system. Students will be prepared to gather, describe, and analyze data; use advanced statistical tools to make decisions; understand what data is needed; and how to use data to measure supply chain performance. On this basis, students learn how to apply various data tools and methods to analyze trends, forecast customer demand, extract business intelligence, and make decisions.
