BUAD 598A - Business Analytics and Supply Chain CAM


Credits: (6) Prerequisite(s): BUAD 6701  

The Business Analytics and Supply Chain Career Acceleration Module combines two major themes: Machine Learning techniques and topics in Supply Chain Management. These themes are complimentary since many of the analytical techniques in Machine Learning that are discussed are readily applicable to the Supply Chain discussion topics. The Machine Learning topics include Cross Validation, Subset Selection, Smoothing Splines, Principal Component Analysis, and Support Vector Machines. The topics in Supply Chain Management include time series analysis, forecasting, inventory management, and the application of algorithms to supply chain problems. Students also visit local port and distribution facilities to gain insight into real-world supply chain management and the context for the applications in this course.
