For this project, there will be a strong focus on helping XXX to do a detailed analysis on the price of the materials in their product BOM (Bill of Materials). The aim of doing so is to allow them to make informed and well-supported decisions when purchasing raw materials. This will potentially lead to higher profit for their business through extensive saving cost, allowing them to direct any additional resources to other parts of the business.

The Asia Pacific region for XXX has many plants and distribution centers all over Asia. Therefore, from the data, we are able to have a list view of the shipment flow for the materials which we will need to represent visually through mapping the plants and the distribution centers based on the information provided.

In order to truly understand the data-automation and transformation process, a collaboration with Johnson & Johnson (JnJ) was made to work on a real-life project focusing on JnJ supply chain network. The objective of this project was to not only help the company understand its end-to-end supply chain network but to also offer insights from data through visualisations done on Tableau. This requires the raw data to be rigorously cleansed and transformed in order for any visualisation to be done, which was in line with our aim of understanding the data-automation and transformation process. Through Tableau, the different types of cost and plants were clearly visualised and represented, providing much insights and setting a foundation for an end-to-end supply chain flow for the company.
To help XXX better understand their data, we will firstly seek to use data visualisation tools to visualise the shipment relationship between each plant and distribution center. Following which, we will have a detailed comparison of the shipment in the different areas. Ideally, we would like to identify some of the factors contributing to the variance in the material prices and the shipment prices.<br/>

Project Introduction


The use of programming to automate and cleanse the dataset has numerous benefits that improves the efficiency and productivity of doing things. Python, an object-oriented programming language, is often well-regarded for its ease-of-usage and large variety of standard libraries such as Pandas and Tensorflow.

In order to truly understand the data-automation and transformation process, a collaboration with Johnson & Johnson (JnJ) was made to work on a real-life project focusing on JnJ supply chain network. The objective of this project was to not only help the company understand its end-to-end supply chain network but to also offer insights from data through visualisations done on Tableau. This requires the raw data to be rigorously cleansed and transformed in order for any visualisation to be done, which was in line with our aim of understanding the data-automation and transformation process. Through Tableau, the different types of cost and plants were clearly visualised and represented, providing much insights and setting a foundation for an end-to-end supply chain flow for the company.

The tangible result from this project was the quick data cleaning and transformation process, that helped integrate the different Excel file and allowing JnJ to identify areas in which attention must be paid to improve its supply chain information accuracy.
