it's a great course. some explanations were a bit abstract and a lot was more tailored to production facilities.

Nice course for beginners. The instructor explained SCM fundamentals like procurement, logistics, and inventory in a simple way. Content was well organized.
By Adhava Raj T on 5/11/2026
The Supply Chain Management course typically involves a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical application. Supply chain management is divided into four basic concepts: sourcing, logistics, planning, and operations, which students learn about. They gain knowledge on how to handle the movement of goods and services from a business to its final destination. Industry tools like SAP and Six Sigma are also covered in the course, and the strategic mindset required to excel in this field is highlighted. Students can participate in practical projects and case studies to develop practical logistics skills.
