Behind the Data

RSC produces over 100 creatively named products for sale for 121 brands, with a focus on leaving an indelible impact on their consumers through the humor found in their unique products. They operate 10 plants across the country, with two locations in Northwest Arkansas. The primary raw material for their products is rubber from shredding tires. Batches produce roughly 900 products each and require mixing, molding, trimming, painting, packing and storage. The data covers inventory counts, goods movements, sales, shifts and production runs from 2013 to 2018.

The RSC dataset is contained within the Walton College of Business' Enterprise Systems as WCOB_RSC. The dataset can be accessed with SQL queries within the University of Arkansas' Remote Desktop environment. The best way to access the dataset would be within the University's Teradata SQL Assistant software or Microsoft SQL Management Studio (Systems). Once an account is obtained, the RSC database can be queried as fit by the user.
