Overview
In the wake of COVID-19, massive amounts of supplier data that can affect risk assessment are continuously changing. RPA plays an important role in acquiring and inputting this data, while AI and machine learning can quickly assess the associated risk factors involved.
This programme focuses on applying relevant RPA and machine learning techniques to help businesses move away from traditional operations and supply chain models to connected, intelligent, scalable and customisable supply networks. It seeks to equip participants with basic data analytics skills and RPA knowledge that can be utilised to improve the efficiency of supply chain management and create effectiveness. Participants will gain knowledge through highly interactive learning, gradually acquiring their abilities over multiple hands-on practices and projects that are related to RPA and machine learning, and subsequently applying the knowledge acquired to help transform their business operations to next-generation operating models.

At the end of the 5-day course, participants will be able to:
- Describe the key trends in supply chain innovation
- Develop robots to perform simple RPA
