Supply Chain Logistics

Supply Chain Management,

Have you ever wondered how goods get delivered to us so quickly as soon as we order them? One word: Logistics! 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!

too much

It is very knowledgeable course it was really amazing experience and i will continue all the courses because it goes deep into the details Course is very easy, and well clarified, the assignments added value to me Thanks It was a good course to study the basics in logistics and it did not take too much of my time to go through it.

excellent i learned too much....thanks coursera and Prof. Rudolf Great course.

The peer graded assignments firstly have too much of weightage, and secondly the reviewers don't necessarily grasp the questions / answers correctly and unknowingly grade incorrectly.

Apart from it, the course is decent enough being an introductory course not needing too much time dedication per week.
