Bayesian analysis has been a tool for evaluating the probability of outcomes for centuries. Bayesian analysis is named after Thomas Bayes. Unlike its popular statistical cousin which can best be termed as a frequentist and correlative approach to statistical analysis and inferencing, Bayesian analysis has seen relatively few applications in the operations and supply chain management (OSCM) literature; with significant potential for insight and further development. In this chapter, we provide a relatively non-quantitative introduction into Bayesian analysis for OSCM research. There are many resources that are available to discuss the underlying mathematics associated with Bayesian analysis. Our purpose is to provide an opportunity, understanding, and argument for the use of Bayesian analysis. We provide some basic and some slightly advanced perspectives what tools can be used to analyze the data, some outcomes, and how these outcomes can be analyzed.
