It is a good course on supply chain management, but it is also a bit challenging too. It'd be better with good writing and good algebra knowledge to understand, especially on supply chain planning.

Great course, one opportunity of improvement is to explain the philosophy behind using such forecasting model and what's next after utilizing such model. Anyways, it's a great course.

It gets harder as the course goes. But very well explained. I wish there was a bit more explanation for the reasoing behind the fourmula. Peer review is sometime questionable...
