Great course. Don Klock was straight to the point and informative. Excercises were terrific. One suggestion is to prescribe some standard textbooks for various topics discussed.

Interesting topic but the assignment is peer reviewed by three random people. For example my answer for question 3 two people gave me perfect and one person gave me a zero with no explanation. You need 80% overall from all 4 questions to pass. I ended up with an overall 75% and there is nothing you can do but redo the assignment and hopefully you get three good markers or the process will happen over and over. I was planning on doing the specialization in this but once I encountered this problem I found a different online course from a different website that is all self test based that I prefer.

Many thanks for this course broadening my knowledge of Strategic sourcing and how to make strategic plans for categories by applying the 2x2 approach (Kraljic Matrix). If you want to pursue a sourcing career path, I highly recommend taking the course.

All steps to strategically source commodities clearly taught with examples, illustrations and a very challenging assignment that test and examine the comprehension and understanding of the subject at the end of the course.

Muy aterrizado a lo que las áreas de abastecimiento deberian seguir metodologicamente para no quedarse en la operativa.
