What you'll build
What you will be able to do
Each lab ends with a concrete result that you build yourself and the checker confirms, cell by cell.
- Measure how fast five product categories of a home-goods distributor turn their stock, and how well they serve customers.
- Split 12 SKUs into A, B and C items by annual consumption value, so you know where tight control pays off.
- Find the order quantity that keeps the total of ordering and holding costs lowest for the best-selling skillet set.
- Set the reorder point for a duvet from 20 days of sales, a 10-day lead time and a 95% service level.
- Forecast monthly demand for a storage box two ways and measure how wrong the forecasts were.
- Find out whether the warehouse packing line can handle 520 orders a day, and which station holds it back.
- Compare three suppliers for a floor lamp on true landed cost and on a weighted scorecard, then pick one.
- Calculate the pace the customer demands, how effective the bottleneck printer really is, and the sigma level of outbound orders.
About this course
Operations decisions rely on a core toolkit of calculations, and this course covers the essentials in one place. You measure inventory turnover, days of supply and fill rate, then classify items with ABC analysis. The economic order quantity balances ordering against holding cost, and safety stock with a reorder point protects service levels. Demand forecasts use moving averages and exponential smoothing, judged by MAD and MAPE. You calculate capacity and utilisation to find the bottleneck, compare suppliers on landed cost and weighted scores, and finish with lean and quality measures such as takt time, overall equipment effectiveness, DPMO and sigma level. For operations and supply chain students, planners and buyers.
