Abstract

Data warehouse, shortly called DW, a repository to store historical data was widely used across organizations for analyzing the data for any business decisions to be decided. It acts as a decision support system, which will help the decision makers to provide any conclusion based on the analyzed data. DW can be used across any particular fields in the public domain. Some of them would include Retail, Insurance, Finance, Sales, Services, Health Care, Education, etc. This paper analyses and proposes the datawarehouse design considerations for the supply chain. The design was explained with a detailed case study on understanding the visibility of sales order at various stages.
