Real-World Modeling Challenges and Optimization

Now on-demand:

Examining a real-world example, we’ll explore the process of modeling techniques. Starting with the reality of the data and ending with model validation, we’ll walk through the process of modeling a complex business use case (supply chain). We’ll discuss the power of the simple modeling techniques balanced with the options of sophisticated approaches.

We discuss:

• Polarity change – How to model a complex supply chain use case where a sales document has several items, each item has several delivery items and multiple delivery item get consolidated into less deliveries. 1 to Many and Many to 1 relationships.
• Data realities – How to manage the reality of data when reshaping the data is not an option. We’ll focus on examples when all ‘dimension’ tables are also ‘fact’ tables.
• Optimization techniques – How to start modeling with a traditional approach, but re-imagine the model to answer the business question in the most optimal way.
