I have recently completed the "Sustainable and Resilient Operations Management" course, and I found it to be highly valuable for understanding how businesses can integrate sustainability and resilience into their operations. The course provided deep insights into key concepts such as sustainable supply chains, risk management, and operational strategies that are both environmentally and economically viable. It also highlighted the importance of adapting to disruptions while maintaining a commitment to sustainability. The course's practical approach, with real-world case studies and interactive assignments, allowed me to apply the knowledge gained to various industries. I particularly appreciated how it emphasized the importance of long-term thinking and strategic planning in building resilient operations that can withstand market changes and environmental challenges. Overall, this course has significantly enhanced my understanding of sustainable operations management, and I feel better equipped to contribute to sustainability initiatives within any organization.

I learnt a lot about sustainability and how to get sustainable in the supply chains.

Highly reflective.

Very good course

Smooth teaching

good. high level overview of sustainability in all parts of supply chain

The course contained few lectures, but most of the education was via articles that were linked in the course. While the articles were informative, I prefer some more lectures. Also, many of the test questions contained answer options that were diametrically opposed, which is far too easy. IE: sustainable production increases CO2 or decreases CO2.

The course feels more like a Siemens marketing scheme than an academic course. The concepts presented are ill befitting of masters-level course. For an engineering management course, the topic is too qualitative and presents few methods of quantification. The educational outcomes of the course serve for great trivia and fun-facts, without addressing the fundamental topics of how (and what tools to use) to directly apply sustainable practices to the real world.
