Assessment Details
For this assignment you will have access to a real data set.
You will be working with dataset by DataCo Global. This can be accessed through the following link:

DataCo SMART SUPPLY CHAIN FOR BIG DATA ANALYSIS (kaggle.com).
Please note that this is a publicly available dataset, and the aim of the assessment task is that you apply
problem solving and data analytics skills to identifying trends in the data and offer suitable recommendations.
You will need to wear a ‘Business and Data Analyst' hat.
The folder containing the relevant Data files have also been provided.

First, each group is expected to thoroughly explain the data sets to use in the task and then introduce any data pre-processing techniques to be utilised.

Second, each group will choose the appropriate data analysis techniques and conduct the analysis, including descriptive and predictive analysis. A data visualisation solution should be developed to enable the stakeholders to monitor and analyse the data in real time.
Finally, based on your data analysis results your group will give recommendations to key stakeholders to advise them on findings from the data and recommendations for business enhancement.
