Supply Chain Operation

Let practices:

So in this pratice, we will learn a lot of concepts of supply chain operations and how to implement in Rstudio.

Prepare a list of packages:

Firstly, the frequency job when working with Rmarkdown is calling packages. You should list all packages is needed to call and then using this code: pacman::p_load(list_name_package). Below is the illustration.

Code
## Call packages:
pacman::p_load(rio,
               here,
               janitor,
               tidyverse,
               dplyr,
               magrittr,
               ggplot2,
               purrr,
               lubridate,
               knitr,
               shiny)

Install data:

Then installing your data to R. I get it by my computer’s address, so if you want to use it, you should download file by click button. In this chapter, we just need 2 dataset.

Code
library(downloadthis)

procurement_data %>%
  download_this(
    output_name = "procurement_data",
    output_extension = ".csv",
    button_label = "Download data",
    button_type = "warning",
    has_icon = TRUE,
    icon = "fa fa-save"
  )
Code
optimize %>%
  download_this(
    output_name = "optimize",
    output_extension = ".csv",
    button_label = "Download data",
    button_type = "warning",
    has_icon = TRUE,
    icon = "fa fa-save"
  )
