About the Course

Have you ever wondered how goods get delivered to us so quickly as soon as we order them? One word: Logistics! In this introductory Supply Chain Logistics course, I will take you on a journey to this fascinating backbone of global trade. We cover the three major building blocks of logistics networks: transportation, warehousing, and inventory. After completing this course, you will be able to differentiate the advantages and disadvantages of different modes of transportation. You will understand what goes into designing and setting up a warehousing facility. Finally, you will be able to select the options that enable you to develop logistics networks, that minimize costs and deliver top customer service. This is an introductory course designed to provide you with a start on your learning journey in logistics.

The Supply Chain Logistics course has been a fascinating introduction to the core elements of global trade. I've gained valuable insights into transportation modes, warehousing, and inventory management. The practical examples and clear explanations have made complex concepts easy to understand.

This course focuses more on practical assignments rather than teaching through text or videos. The videos will be very short but you will have to spend some time on the assignments. Through these assignments, you get a hands-on approach which I feel made my understanding of the topic better. The instructor, however, does not explain concepts and terms in an elaborate way.

Many thanks to Coursera.orgOpens in a new tab (CourseraOpens in a new tab) for organizing this training. And I would also like to thank Rutgers UniversityOpens in a new tab as all the courses offered to the training were very useful. I think every assignment in this training always amazes me because I have to study hard (read the lesson, analyze the assignment, understand the lesson in the video) to complete the assignment.

The course is a very good introduction to the world of Supply Chain. It details the parts of the logistics network and the assignments allow you to apply the knowledge in a practical manner.

The peer-reviewed assignments are appropriately challenging, in the sense that they ensure you gain a thorough understanding of the principles of the Logistics of the Supply Chain.

Very good structured and very good explained, the Prof clearly knows what he´s talking about and has great insight in the supply chain area. For my personal taste it could be a bit more detailed also the assignments could be a bit harder, but all in all a very good course for everybody whos starting in that field or wants to expand their knowledge

With the begin level so I dont have high hope of the thorough lectures or lesson something. But the course still give us informative knowledge and the way it was designed is logical, making everybody understand quite well even though you dont have the basic knowlege of supply chain logistics before. Therefore I think this course is worth trying.

This course is really interesting. The most interesting part was the challenging assignment of building a warehouse layout/design and the second building a logistic network. It really made me think outside the box and carry out more research. I recommend this site to all who want to challenge themselves academically and improve in their career.

A simple and useful course on logistics in the context of supply chain management that helps even learners who have no previous experience to learn these topics which are of great importance in the modern world. Assignments with a practical orientation, good quality of audio and video and a great instructor are other points worth mentioning.

This was a really interesting course. I learnt how to design a layout of warehouse & how to built logistics network. I also learnt why they are important. Most importantly I learnt how to deliver products to the customers in a short & most efficient way. I will highly recommend this course if you are enthusiastic to learn about supply chain.

I loved everything about this course. All videos are short but very informative. It has the subtitles already which you can highlight and mark as "Notes". The only thing I would change is the submission format. I couldnt upload a jpg and my pdf for my last assignment at the same time which was a bummer. But overall, great fun course.

Really comprehensive entry course into logistics. All information is digestible and the assignments are quite fun. You will need to leave 2hrs for each of the peer-reviewed assignments in order to get the most out of them. They are not difficult but do take some time, You will get out of this course what you put into it (as in life);

Covers all the aspects and know about of Logistics and its importance in Supply Chain. The assessments really test the level of understanding and how can it be applied in real-life scenarios. The discussion forum helps us put forward our thought process and helps us look at our level of understanding from a different point of view.

Great Course, full of quizzes and challenging. These short quizzes make you engage at all times and be very alert to the Lecture. The videos were on point and very much appreciated. I like the fact that the Professor was actually outside the office giving the lecture with live examples. It was really fun to attend this course.

Aprendi mucho en este curso, a decir verdad me ayudo bastante a entender el diseño de las redes logisticas y a entender la importancia de conocer todos los factores que involucan en el transporte de los productos, de tal forma reducir los costos, pero buscando siempre la rapides, la eficiencia y la calidad.

Fue muy educativo.

Для мене, як початківця, цей курс був дуже цікавим. Лекції достатньо об'ємні та зрозумілі. Подача матеріалів була проста і легка. Мені сподобалось, що у будь-який момент лекцію можна було переглянути, та поспілкуватись ще з ШІ. Дякую викладача за такий цікавий курс, а також дякую студентам, які оцінювали мої завдання.

When I joined this course, I was not familiar with how goods where moved from an area of low demand to area of high demand. With the help of the course in Supply Chain Logistics, I was able to plan the logistics and delivery systems for my company. I'd like to thank Rutgers and Coursera for this wonderful opportunity.

This course was a joy to be a part of. Prof Leuschner explains everything in a very lucid manner and the real world implementations shared in the videos make understanding the content very easy. I will definitely continue with other courses in the Supply Chain Management specialization offered by Rutgers University.
