To examine students' understanding, we have collected 66 students' surveys in Fall 2021 through undergraduate-level classes. The result indicates that employing the Tableau tool promotes the student's learning and comprehension of demand forecasting.

It is important that the concept of supply chain analytics and experiential software tools such as Excel and Tableau. This study examines whether Tableau software impacts students' demand forecasting learning.
