The course is for beginners and the exercises are very easy. I need something more challenging. I expected to learn more about the tools and data analysis methods. However, I didn't learn any of these things. That is why I rate it at 4 stars.
I wouldn't recommend this course to beginners unless they possess practical knowledge and real-life experience in the field. Otherwise, it might seem overly dry and theoretical. Personally for me, the course was valuable for better understanding terminology in English and keeping up with the latest trends.
The course only provided a simple introduction to the topics without going into depth. Those with basic knowledge of supply chain do not need this course, and the explanation videos were merely recitations without proper explanation or clarification. They always mentioned that the topic would be discussed in more detail later. The textual explanations were also not of good quality. The Excel projects did not reflect the skills taught, and I found them difficult. In summary, this course is for those who have no prior knowledge of the supply chain.
I have been in the industry for about 7 Years, this course just reminded me why i chose Supply Chain Management, gave me an idea of how i should manage my direct team and the relevance of accurate data capturing.

This is all common sense, especially if you are an engineer who deals with product design/development/manufacturing. I expected way more, considering this course is offered by a company and not a university. What a waste of time and resources.
The course offers excellent content, but I find this part to be heavily focused on theoretical concepts with minimal application of analytics in the assessments. I hope to see more application-based assessments in the upcoming sections for a better learning experience.
It is very basic and general, suggest it for university student or people who interested to general subject not professionally.
Supply Chain Management and Analytics من الدورات المهمة جدًا في المشتريات أو اللوجستيات أو إدارة سلاسل التوريد. الدورة تساعد على فهم أساسيات سلسلة التوريد من التخطيط والشراء والنقل والتوزيع، وتوضح كيف يمكن استخدام التحليلات والبيانات لاتخاذ قرارات أفضل. الميزة أنها تربط الجانب العملي (مثل خفض التكاليف وتحسين الكفاءة) مع الجانب التحليلي (مثل التنبؤ بالطلب وتحليل الأداء). بشكل عام، الدورة تعطي المتدرب أدوات أساسية لفهم التحديات والفرص في إدارة سلسلة التوريد وتساعده على تطوير حلول مبنية على البيانات.

I had no prior experience or knowledge of SC management. I found the content useful and it provided me with the basic information about the subject. In some areas i felt that it was repetitive. However, overall it worth the time invested and I'm satisfied
This course teaches how the core practices and concepts in supply chain management can be applied to different areas in the field. Excellent course. No wasted time or busy work, just real, practical knowledge presented concisely and effectively.
Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Supply Chain Analytics are two sides of the same coin. While SCM focuses on the physical flow and coordination of goods, Analytics focuses on the data and insights that make those flows more efficient
Refreshed some of my Supply chain concepts in addition to learning new concepts with relevant examples through out the course. Recommended course for the people who are linked to supply chain or new to the field of supply chain .
Thank you Unilever for this kind of self-paced training. I am able to view reply to things that quiet unclear to me. And it really add up to my self-development and could be a big help to my upcoming career.
I love this course. The useful knowledge and practice assignments. You will have at least 3 times to get high scores as possible and each assignments are not repeated, which makes an effective learning.
This course had a significant impact on my understanding of the fundamentals and principles of supply chain management and analytics. I am very proud to be a part of this rich and exciting experience.
