Logistics Data Analytics
Course Overview
This three-day advanced programme teaches logistics professionals how to apply data analytics techniques to their operations data for improved decision-making, cost reduction, and performance optimisation. As African logistics operations generate increasing volumes of data, the ability to analyse and act on that data has become a critical competitive advantage.
Participants will learn practical analytics techniques including data collection and cleaning, descriptive analytics, trend analysis, cost analysis, and the foundations of predictive modelling. The programme uses real logistics datasets from African operations and teaches analysis methods that can be applied immediately using commonly available tools.
Designed for logistics managers, analysts, and planners who want to move from intuition-based to data-driven decision-making in their operations.
