The content is good; however, the jury is still out on the podcast format, which is interrupted by short quizzes.

By Leandro Filipe da Silva Costa on 5/5/2025
Course with many interesting examples, reviews many timely topics where they explain the best tools and methods to explore in more depth the entire involvement of a production and its surrounding processes. Suggestion for improvement: perhaps introduce some videos that help explain some topics so that the course is not a monologue and can capture the attention of participants even more. Overall, great and thank you.

I am currently working as a operations manager at a private company. Reason for me to do this course, I find myself questioning my ability to be in this position. I took the decision in studying this course and not feel that I am not capable. Being the best operations manager is the end goal I want and will achieve.
