Good course to understand supply chain optimization. Instructor is a domain experts and really knows his stuff. Anyone looking to understand supply chain process and workflow will not be disappointed. The optimization part is also very helpful. The course is excellent. And the case-study at the end was very illustrative of the kind of work we need to do within our organization. I wish there were more case-studies. Overall, a very good value for the money.
