Length of the course should be more. The course can be developed more by going deep into individual categories of analytics.

Good intro, but I think the last two sections of the 4th module are in the wrong order. The tutorial on the GCPS system should be before the assignment.

suggest to have in depth of each sub areas of supply chain and talk about the problems in those subareas
Request to suggest any readings and /or books related to supplu chain analytics
Suggesting to offer : Advanced Supply Chain Analytics"
It gave me basic know how of the Supply Chain but it do not provides the techniques and tools for analytics
Awful. Newsflash: Analytics are helpful for those who use it. If you are looking for a technical deep dive do not suscribe to this course, unless you want a pep talk.
It's a fascinating journey to learn about this course because it introduces an area of Supply chain analytics where supply chain management meets data analytics! By combing real life stories and examples on how analytics can apply to various domains of a supply chain to generate a significant social and economic impact (the amazon and Walmart case), I got a deep understanding about how analytics works in supply chain industry. I strongly recommend this course to all people who are interested in data analyze and supply chain.
Short, Crisp videos for conceptual understanding of the application and importance of Supply Chain Analytics in businesses. And some great case examples and problems to work upon!
This a very good course, recommend people with Supply Chain or Data background to take this. A huge boost for your career.
Was hoping for some analytical hints but the lecturer is for the most time just throwing figures at us. The quizzes don't make sense (just select all multiple choice answers), and the peer review test (especially the second and final one) requires all participants to sign up for a site. This means that most of the work submitted to the second peer review is not valid. I wanted to learn about supply chain analytics, and not be forced to do work to select a dream job at Apple in California.

An inspiring course. This course introduces quantitative models and tools to efficiently manage operations that produce and distribute products and services, with applications in manufacturing, logistics and service industries. The only advice I may give is the assignment could be a bit more complicated than what the video teaches.
This is the best course that one can afford to learn it to know what is analytics and how it can be applied to the supply chain. Professor was soo good in explaining and every time when he states a real-life example you get in attached to the subject and this will excite you to focus.
Best course of Supply Chain for Beginners to understand the concept, use & implementation.
Quizzes were not up to the mark. And assignment was also not good. Could not learn much.
Because teacher cannot be reached to get correct comments to results interpretations or to open questions. Our grades depends on peers review of ourwork and many times, none rewie it or there are not enough work to be reviewed and certificate cannot be obtained or task cannot be completed. I faced a lot of tech issues from Coursera side. Not nice. Frustrating. Course content was great and exercise were fine too. Lack of ways on how to report issues and was is needed to report: plagiarism for example. I do not like Coursera.
It was very informatics, but you need to continue your studies to master the skill and take-up next courses. This has set the tone and now keep learning. Learning was simple, fun and very effective.
I would recommend to all those who are looking for Business Analytics jobs must start with this overview,
The course is very helpful. I got a lot from the 4-week course. I really enjoy the videos and the assignments. Also glad that the professor includes the job market of supply chain analytics in the course. It was very interesting.
Great introductory course. The best part is the assignments. You get to practice what professor Qi teaches. This course will definitely help me in my career. Thank you
The contents are very lucid and practical illustrations helps to comprehend in the real world context than learning supply chain analytics concepts theoretically.
