The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
How can EcoThreads implement effective inventory control to reduce overstock and stockouts while maintaining its sustainability commitments?
This is not a data exercise. It is the work an analyst does when stakeholders need answers from messy data. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates describe statistical methods and none who have extracted insight from messy, real-world data.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Apply controlling concepts (KPIs, variance analysis) to inventory management
- Use data to inform decision-making on reorder quantities and safety stock
- Understand the role of planning and control in operations
- Develop basic forecasting skills using historical data
