In this introductory Supply Chain Logistics course, I will take you on a journey to this fascinating backbone of global trade. We cover the three major building blocks of logistics networks: transportation, warehousing, and inventory. After completing this course, you will be able to differentiate the advantages and disadvantages of different modes of transportation. You will understand what goes into designing and setting up a warehousing facility. Finally, you will be able to select the options that enable you to develop logistics networks, that minimize costs and deliver top customer service. This is an introductory course designed to provide you with a start on your learning journey in logistics. You do not need to have any background in logistics, but it would be beneficial if you had a basic understanding of business concepts. Join me and we will learn together about logistics!

Adequately detailed and informative educational videos. With sufficient links to external resources, study materials & reference information. The tests and exams helped reinforce the study material.

A really great course for the beginner level with a perfect mixture of video lectures with a human touch, reading and practical assignments. Rudolf did an outstanding job and I enjoyed every part of it. Very clear explanations and examples, a bunch of humor and quite a lot of content covered, despite a rather short overall timing. It could be perfect, if not for a couple of issues. The course needs an update - some of the referenced resources are no longer available. Old data does not look good. AI-based tools should be mentioned, at least. And there is also no AI-detection in the assignments. Not sure, if the latter is not a Coursera-wide issue, though, which degrades the value of the certificates. Something needs to be done to improve the peer-reviewing mechanism in general. But, overall, a very good impression. Please, update and upgrade.

Excellent course for those (including myself) who are beginners in this area. Content is very straightforward and easy to understand. I have learned a lot and overall the amount of knowledge you acquire being a beginner is game changing.

However, there are some things that should change. Peer graded assignment is not a fair way to grade somebody, some people just beg for grades without doing any work at all. And I bet this people still pass the course with their certificate simply because people either cheese them or do not simply care, which affect the other students who put in the work and it kills their interest in continuing the course. Another thing is that if you're an expert in the field, it won't be much of help to you.

I feel overall this is a good course that provides good overall beginner information. There is still room for improvement though, there were times where the instructions or questions were not clear in quizzes or projects. For one example, in the Final project in week 4 the instructions on how to submit say to create a table showing transit time and to save it as a .pdf, but when actually working on the project there is nowhere to submit a .pdf file, or at least it was not clear on where or how to upload it. Overall instructions and questions could be more clear.

The course material was fantastic; I truly got something out of the videos, readings, and assignments. Other courses on the platform should mimic Rutgers' video length, concise readings, and practical interactive assignments. However, rubrics for and the general idea of peer-reviewed grading should be scrutinized. While the projects themselves were great learning experiences, having grades based on quizzes with precise or exact answers provides for less ambiguity than assignments with more open-ended rubrics.

I found it a very interesting course and the assignments were not too easy, which is good. I just felt that there could have been more content than what we have had to earn the Supply Chain Logistics certificate. I am sure there is so much more that is extremely important to know, but that is just my personal opinion. For the rest I want to thank the people who have set up this course for making it fun and personal as well as interacting with peers. It was a huge success.

Assignments required you to apply knowledge from the lectures and were challenging if you strive to really demonstrate all of the principles throughout, especially the final exam. As a perfectionist, I spent a lot of time to ensure my assignments were comprehensive and reflect the knowledge I learned for all four weeks. On bit of constructive criticism is that I think the assignments could be explained more clearly. Very reasonable cost for the course.

This course touches upon the topics important in Supply Chain Logistics. Its's a good start to learn the subject but you definitely need to go deeper to get a better hold and to be called an expert. At many places the links and videos are all dated and can't even be loaded on a browser or run because they have been moved or have expired. It would be good to review this periodically and update the course content with contemporary topics and developments.

This is a really good foundation for people who don't have any background knowledge about this field, it's easy to understand. However, when it comes to tests or assignments there were somethings that not included in the lesson but we have to go on with it if we want to complete the tasks, but it's not a big issue anyway since we can do a little research to understand it. To sum up, this course can help you if you want to learn this field.
