Course Overview
In today’s data-driven business environment, inventory management is no longer just about counting stock—it’s about interpreting data to make smarter, faster decisions.
Traditional spreadsheets and static reports are no longer sufficient to meet the demands of modern supply chains. Tools like business intelligence and spreadsheet tools offer powerful capabilities for cleaning, modeling, visualizing, and analyzing inventory data in real time.
This workshop is designed to equip professionals with the skills to transform raw inventory data into actionable insights using these tools. Over five intensive days, participants will learn how to prepare data, build dynamic dashboards, analyze performance indicators, and forecast inventory needs. Through hands-on exercises and practical scenarios, attendees will gain the ability to identify trends, reduce waste, and optimize stock levels.
Whether you're a supply chain analyst, inventory manager, or operations planner, this training will help you unlock the full potential of your data and drive operational excellence.
