Supply Chain Analysis Project

I'm excited to share with you a recent project that I've completed – a supply chain analysis project that explores key insights into the world of logistics and product management. This project delves into various aspects of supply chain management, including revenue analysis, product type sales, transportation cost analysis, defect rate examination, and more. I'm thrilled to provide you with a glimpse of this project's key highlights.

Project Overview

In today's fast-paced business landscape, efficient supply chain management is more critical than ever. This project aims to shed light on the intricate details of supply chain operations for a Fashion and Beauty startup. Here's a brief overview of what I've explored in this analysis:

Revenue Generation by Product Type

I examined how product types, particularly skincare, haircare, and cosmetics, impact revenue generation. The findings revealed that skincare products play a pivotal role in revenue, with higher-priced skincare items contributing significantly to the bottom line.

Sales by Product Type

The project provides insights into sales by product type, allowing us to identify which product categories drive the majority of business.

Transportation Cost Analysis

Analyzing shipping costs by different carriers, we discovered how carrier choices can influence the bottom line. A particular emphasis was placed on Carrier B, which proved instrumental in generating higher revenue.

Inventory and Defect Rate

We examined stock levels for each SKU to assess inventory management. Additionally, the project delves into the average defect rate for all product types, highlighting the importance of maintaining product quality.

Key Findings

The project generated valuable insights, including the identification of top-performing SKUs, the discovery of revenue drivers, and the evaluation of transportation modes' defect rates. These findings can guide decision-making, enabling businesses to optimize their supply chain operations and boost profitability.

Recommendations

Based on the analysis, I've developed recommendations to enhance supply chain efficiency. These recommendations encompass strategies to reduce costs, improve quality control, optimize inventory levels, and choose the right transportation modes.

Conclusion

Effective supply chain analysis can provide businesses with a competitive edge in today's dynamic market. This project demonstrates the importance of data-driven decision-making and the potential for enhancing supply chain efficiency to drive success.
Feel free to explore the detailed analysis and findings presented in this project. I'm always eager to discuss how data-driven solutions can drive your business forward.

Air Quality Data Analysis

I'm excited to share one of my recent data analysis projects: the Air Quality Data Analysis. In this project, I delved into a dataset related to air quality, with the goal of understanding the factors that influence air quality and their impact on the environment.

Project Overview

Data Source: I worked with a comprehensive dataset containing various attributes, including industrial activity, proximity to natural reserves, pollution levels (PM10 and PM2.5), traffic density, distance to the coast, humidity, and more.

Key Insights and Visualizations

  1. Industrial Activity and Proximity to Natural Reserves: To investigate the relationship between industrial activity and proximity to natural reserves, I created a contingency table and performed a chi-squared test to determine whether the two variables are dependent.

  2. Mean PM10 Levels: I compared mean PM10 levels in regions with high industrial activity (industrial codes 4 and 5) and low industrial activity (industrial codes 1 and 2). The analysis revealed significant differences between the two groups.

  3. Difference in Mean PM2.5 Levels: I conducted a two-sample t-test to compare mean PM2.5 levels between regions with high traffic density and low traffic density. The results provided insights into the impact of traffic on air quality.

  4. Mean Population in Inland Regions: I analyzed the mean population in inland regions by Australian state and performed a one-way ANOVA to test for significant differences among states.

  5. AQI vs. PM2.5: Using a scatter plot and linear regression, I explored the relationship between Air Quality Index (AQI) and PM2.5 levels, providing a predictive model and a prediction interval for AQI.

Technologies Used

  • Python for data analysis
  • Pandas for data manipulation
  • Matplotlib and Seaborn for data visualization
  • Jupyter Notebook for analysis and visualization

Conclusion

The Air Quality Data Analysis project highlights the significance of data-driven insights in understanding environmental factors affecting air quality. By employing statistical tests, visualizations, and regression models, I gained valuable insights into the data, which can inform environmental policies and decision-making.

Sales Report using SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)

Sales Report SSRS
×

I'm excited to showcase a recent project that highlights my skills in Business Intelligence and Data Analytics – the creation of a comprehensive Sales Report using SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). This project aims to provide detailed insights into daily sales, utilizing the AdventureWorks2017 database.

Project Overview

Tools Used

  • Visual Studio 2015
  • SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)
  • SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)
  • AdventureWorks2017 Database

Objectives

  • Develop a dynamic Sales Report with a user-friendly interface.
  • Utilize SSIS for data cleaning and transformation.
  • Implement SSRS for visually appealing and insightful data representation.

Project Highlights

Visual Studio Integration

I initiated the project by creating an SSRS project in Visual Studio 2015, seamlessly integrating it with the AdventureWorks2017 database. This laid the foundation for a robust reporting system.

Data Cleansing with SSIS

Addressing the challenge of incorrect data, particularly in fields like City, StateProvinceCode, and CountryCode, I leveraged SSIS to perform data cleaning and transformation. Conditional Splits and Derived Columns were pivotal in ensuring data accuracy.

SSRS Report Design

The heart of the project lies in the design of the SSRS report. Daily sales details, including Order ID, Product Name, Unit Price, Quantity, and Total Amount (Inc. Tax), are presented in a visually appealing layout. I also addressed formatting issues for Unit Price and Order Date, ensuring a polished user interface.

GitHub Repository

For those interested in exploring the project in-depth, I've made the entire codebase available on GitHub. Feel free to check it out and provide feedback.

Future Developments

The project is an ongoing endeavor. Future developments include integrating the report with a Staging_Area for continuous data updates and further enhancements to create a comprehensive Business Intelligence solution.

Conclusion

The Sales Report project has been a stimulating journey, pushing the boundaries of my skills in SSIS and SSRS. It reflects my commitment to delivering impactful solutions that empower businesses with valuable insights.
