Bachelor's Thesis: Identification and Preparation of ERP Data to Predict Delivery Delays in the Supply Chain of Manufacturing Industry

"I wrote my bachelor's thesis in collaboration with an industrial company in Upper Austria. The special challenge in my work was to identify the relevant data from the company's vast data pool. I was supported in this task through interviews with experts from the company, who provided their knowledge on delivery delays. Using insights from the interviews, along with extensive data preparation and analysis, we were able to discover some connections between the data and delivery delays."
