Who Should Attend

This programme is designed for professionals and individuals in the supply chain and logistics sector who are involved in executing various processes and operational tasks.


PREREQUISITES

There are no prerequisites for this programme. Prior knowledge on any of the topics is not required. Those with basic understanding of software coding and programming logic will find the knowledge useful when participating in this programme.

Overview

Digital transformation is heralding the next era in supply change management, in which suppliers and customers come together in entirely new ways, blurring the lines between the digital and physical worlds. End-to-end supply chain management operations are fast being revolutionised through the integrated use of RPA, AI and Machine Learning.

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.

Learning Objectives

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
  • Apply Machine Learning applications using Python and Juptyper Notebook
  • Review the state of innovation in their company using the Supply Chain Innovation Maturity Model
  • Explore, adopt and deploy innovative solutions specifically for the supply chain and logistics sector

Assessment

As part of the requirement for SkillsFuture Singapore, there will be an assessment conducted at the end of the course. The mode of assessment, which is up to the trainer’s discretion, may be an online quiz, a presentation or based on classroom exercises.

Participants are required to attain a minimum of 75% attendance and pass the associated assessment in order to receive a digital Certificate of Completion issued by Singapore Management University.
