02
Goals for this talk Motivate development of supply chain tool
Share tool
Share challenges associated with supply chain data analysis
Gather feedback and discuss with others experiencing similar challenges 2<br>
03
Supply chain interest Supply chain crises
Demand from data users
Ongoing work @ DOC (ITA Supply Chain Center)
"Tell us everything Census knows about"
Baby Formula
The automotive supply chain
The pharmaceutical supply chain
Etc. 3<br>
04
Data sources 4 Economic Census
Annual Survey of Manufacturers (ASM)
Annual Wholesale Trade Survey (AWTS)
Annual Retail Trade Survey (ARTS)
Services Annual Survey (SAS)
Quarterly Survey of Plant Capacity Utilization (QPC)
Commodity Flow Survey (CFS)
County Business Patterns+ ZIP Business Patterns (CBP/ZBP)
Foreign trade import/export data
Profile of importing/exporting firms
Manufacturing and International Trade Report (MITR)
Business Dynamics Statistics (BDS)
Business Trends and Outlook Survey (BTOS)
Longitudinal Employer Household Dynamics (LEHD) / LEHD Origin-Destination Employment Statistics (LODES)
Economic Indicators
Community Resilience Estimates (CRE)<br>
05
Challenge Given the needs of data users and a wide variety of data sources, how might we present a holistic view of a product's supply chain? 5<br>
06
Desired functionality Searchable in natural language
Visual, with a useful and informative visualization layer displaying key information
Brings together disparate data sources and harmonizes datasets with different coding schemes, reference years, numeric values, etc. 6<br>

8 Model turns free text into a product code in the Harmonized System (HS)
Logistic regression classifier trained on customs declarations
Accuracy 72% on curated test set of common queries<br>

Data Harmonization 13 Data use a variety of coding schemes to identify products and industries
Standard Classification of Transported Goods (SCTG)
North American Product Classification System (NAPCS)
Harmonized System (HS) codes
North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)
Custom BEA Detailed Industry Codes
Coding schemes change on a regular basis
Census data availability is redacted in more granular subsets of industry, product, and geography<br>
14
Data Harmonization 14 Building a back-end of data relationships for every product type, industry type, geography, and year of data, including many analyst-created concordance files This allows easy traversal across datasets and queries such as:
What are the material inputs (Econ Census) of industries which are top manufacturers of wood (ASM)?
Where do the top products of the pharmaceutical industry (Econ Census) get imported from (Intl Trade)?
What is all the data we have about cars in the state of Michigan?<br>
15
Achievements and next steps Functional search, incorporated 5 datasets
Annual Survey of Manufacturing (ASM)
Economic Census
County Business Patterns
International Trade
Quarterly Survey of Plant Capacity
Cross-walking is imperfect, more research to guide user towards correct code or more sophisticated search
HS6 MEDICAMENTS, IN MEASURED DOSES, ETC. (EXCLUDING VACCINES, ETC., COATED BANDAGES ETC. AND PHARMACEUTICAL GOODS), NESOI could be one of multiple NAPCS codes
2010150000 Manufacturing of pharmaceutical preparations, affecting neoplasms, the endocrine system, and metabolic diseases, for human use
2010175000 Manufacturing of pharmaceutical preparations, acting on the central nervous system and the sense organs, for human use
2010200000 Manufacturing of pharmaceutical preparations, acting on the cardiovascular system, for human use
2010325000 Manufacturing of pharmaceutical preparations, affecting parasitic and infective diseases, for human use (excluding diagnostics)
New datasets
Labor
Industry inputs and outputs.
Continuous testing and feedback on the tool
New visualizations 15<br>
