An outstanding course regarding sourcing and procurement. I suggest procurement strategies should also be included in this course like type of contracts, Letter of Credits etc..
The course was very informative and contains lots of useful information. It is up to a point and very interesting that the instructor provide real life examples for easier understanding.
Great course, could have benefitted from deeper dives and questions on the lessons and less articles to read and review but still great course and great teacher.
The fundamentals reviewed in this course are helpful for beginners to SCM. This would be too basic for experienced SCM professionals.
