By the end of this course, learners will be able to analyze shipping and pricing data, evaluate inventory and demand patterns, apply machine learning workflows, and predict shipping time and demand using data-driven models.
This course provides a practical, end-to-end understanding of how machine learning is applied to real-world shipping and logistics problems. Learners begin by exploring shipping pricing strategies, inventory availability, and data preparation techniques that form the foundation of reliable predictive models. The course then progresses into exploratory data analysis, correlation assessment, and distribution analysis to uncover meaningful insights from shipping datasets.
Unlike theory-heavy ML courses, this program emphasizes business-aligned decision making, showing how model evaluation metrics such as Mean Absolute Error translate directly into operational outcomes. Learners also gain hands-on exposure to demand forecasting, feature engineering, normalization, and discretization, enabling them to improve model accuracy and interpretability.
By completing this course, learners will build industry-relevant skills in logistics analytics, strengthen their ability to design and evaluate machine learning models, and gain a competitive edge in data-driven supply chain and e-commerce roles.
This module introduces the fundamentals of shipping systems and pricing strategies while guiding learners through data preparation, validation, and exploratory data analysis techniques essential for building reliable machine learning models in logistics and supply chain environments.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
