Using Data Science in order to solve a problem requires a scientific mindset more than coding skills.
This hands-on book, covering the entire range of forecasting--from the basics all the way to leading-edge models--will benefit Supply Chain practitioners, forecasters, and analysts looking.
The book is replete with do-it-yourself sections with implementations provided in Python (and Excel for the statistical models) to show the readers how to apply these models themselves.
The various chapters focus on both forecast models and new concepts such as metrics, underfitting, overfitting, outliers, feature optimization, and external demand drivers.
Part I focuses on statistical traditional models, Part II, on machine learning, and the all-new Part III discusses demand Forecasting process management.
This second edition adds more than 45 percent extra content with four new chapters including an introduction to neural networks and the forecast value added framework.
Data Science for Supply Chain Forecasting, Second Edition contends that a true scientific method which includes experimentation, observation, and constant questioning must be applied to Supply chains to achieve excellence in demand forecasting.
