About the Course

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!

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.

Unfortunately I think the level for this course is very low and not worth paying for, it has a very local perspective of logistics (not involving international logistics but only US operations), there's no communication with the professor or assistants, so it's basically watching a few very short videos explaining general concepts that apply only to certain types of operations.

The assignments are very vague, with no requirements or restrictions provided, basically anyone can write anything and as long as you follow the requested format it will be graded ok; grading is not based content and therefore there's no way to know whether you're learning and applying the concepts properly or not.

Wouldn't recommend paying for it.

This class is an extremely basic course, with very little "rigor" required to complete. There were a very small number of "bits and pieces" of information that was useful, but most of the information was not followed up on in a practical manner. I suspect that this course is primarily designed to be a "money generator" for Rutgers University. I also suspect that it is very successful in that a vast majority of the students that I could "see" were from foreign countries. Their submissions were appallingly poor. Yet, with very little effort, I have no doubt that they passed the "course" and earned their certificates. I sincerely hope that this course is not a representative example of the type of rigor applied to full college classes at Rutgers. If it is, it speaks volumes about the quality of a degree from that institution.

I'm sorry I just un-enrolled from this specialization because unfortunately the Instructor didn't mention all the details in real life how it works and wanted us to design something I never heard of ! this the second time I take a course I didn't Like on coursera !!!

I was learning up until Week 4 Assignment. I thought it was a very ambiguous assignment. I struggled how to learn to create map in Google maps, and saw now way to save the file?

I did learn from the course, but found this last assignment to be confusing, ambiguous, and frustrating due to trying to learn to use the tools (Google Maps) while at same time doing the assignment. So, I basically gave up on this one and submitted low quality test, out of frustration. I did learn and will continue finding articles on logistics, reading, and seeking employment in this area.

I really think Coursera should UP the quality of their courses and assignments. Throwing crap together and calling it a learning opportunity is a waste of learners time.

* Presentation style and showing locations is a good idea

* Course content is not bad

* Assignments requirements are not clear and there are not enough givens to help us start solving the assignment

* There are a lot of unknown terms which I see for the first time and this makes the course harder for me, so the instructor should define these terms instead of relying on our knowledge which is not existing by the way

This is one of the best course of Supply Chain Management Specialization offered by Rutgers University through Coursera. Equally important to the individuals already working in supply chain and who are looking for their career in supply chain. Learning method, course material and instructor everything is very encouraging and cooperative. I am lucky to have this course. Thankyou coursera and Rutgers University.

This course is really helpful. It helps to get a basic understanding of Logistics. The trainer is absolutely solution-focused, giving live scenario examples. I am glad I opted for this course. Now I am starting to write the final exam so that I can have the certification as well. One should definitely join this course if looking for an overview of SCM.

I like this course, particularly the assignment. The deign of the assignment is very constructive. The requirement is very clear and need to check many data off line. That's help us to understand the knowledge more deeply.

This course made it very easy to relate supply chain logistics to real life instances through the use of networks of known companies and how their logistics network are organized. Examining the different modes of transport and how they impact the expected lead times for delivery; while saving the company money in the process was also valuable. Warehousing layout and designing was a very rewarding experience. Also being able to design our own logistics network.
