Course Description

Master Supply Chain Analytics with Power BI

Looking to enhance your supply chain analytics skills? This course focuses on creating a powerful make versus buy analysis tool using Power BI.

Create a Make versus Buy Analysis Tool

Through this case study, you will develop a quote analysis tool, calculate costs for various production volumes, and integrate internal manufacturing cost data for in-depth analysis.

Discover the Advantages of Power BI

The course highlights the advantages of Power BI over traditional spreadsheets, offering a valuable model that can be extended to include additional cost considerations and supply chain aspects.

Extend the Model to Include More Supply Chain Aspects

Take your supply chain analytics to the next level by extending the model to include additional cost considerations and supply chain aspects.

By the end of this course, you'll have a strong understanding of supply chain analytics with Power BI, allowing you to create valuable tools for your organization.

Prerequisites

Introduction to Power BIDAX Functions in Power BIData Connections in Power BI
1

The Buy Option

In this first chapter, you will learn about the make and buy options in a supply chain. Then you will become acquainted with the concepts of extended cost and full cost. You will learn how to calculate these with a basic quote dataset.
Start Chapter
2

Creating a Volume Parameter and Scenario Analysis

In this chapter, you will explore building a scenario analysis tool to examine how your cost calculations change as volumes change. You will create visualizations of how the full cost changes across the different potential production volumes.
Start Chapter
3

The Make Option

You will learn how to assess internal costs manufacturing costs - the "Make" option in the Make versus Buy. You will also learn how to communicate your results.

FAQs

What supply chain analysis does this Power BI case study focus on?

You build a make versus buy analysis tool, comparing the cost of manufacturing internally against purchasing from suppliers across different production volumes.

What Power BI skills will I practice in this case study?

You use DAX for cost calculations, create volume parameters for scenario analysis, build visualizations of cost changes, and integrate internal manufacturing cost data for comparison.

What are extended cost and full cost in this context?

Chapter 1 introduces these supply chain cost concepts. You learn to calculate both using a basic quote dataset before exploring how they change across different production volumes.

Does the course include scenario analysis?

Yes. Chapter 2 focuses on building a scenario analysis tool to examine how cost calculations change as production volumes vary, with visualizations of full cost across different scenarios.

What Power BI courses should I complete first?

You need Introduction to Power BI, Introduction to DAX, DAX Functions, Data Modeling, and Data Connections in Power BI. This intermediate case study builds on all five.
