Have you ever wondered how products and services are created exactly the same thousands of times over? And how companies are able to smooth out operations to manufacture efficiently, effectively, and without any waste? How is such precision possible? The answer lies at the heart of operations. In the Supply Chain Operations course, we introduce and apply essential process improvement tools to achieve perfection. After completing this course, you will be able to apply the Six Sigma methodology for process improvement. You will demonstrate that you understand the basic tenets of the Lean philosophy that enables manufacturers to eliminate waste and make processes more efficient. Finally, you will be able to apply the tools that you just gained to improve a process of your own. This is an introductory course designed to provide you with a start on your learning journey in operations. You do not need to have any background in operations, but it would be beneficial if you had a basic understanding of business concepts, a working knowledge of spreadsheets, and ideally have mastered the Supply Chain Logistics course. Join me and we will learn together about operations!

教學大綱 - 您將從這門課程中學到什麼
Lean Operations and Theory of Constraints
Welcome to the exciting world of operations! This module introduces you to the professor who is teaching the courses in the Supply Chain Management Specialization. You will also discover the essential tools that help make operations better. By the end of this module, you'll know what to expect in the course and hopefully be as excited to learn about Supply Chain Operations as I will be to teach you. In addition, you will understand the major goals of optimizing Operations. You will also be able to recall the major foundations of Lean Thinking and the Theory of Constraints.
Lean Inventory
In Lean Inventory, we will focus on the application of lean principles to a core concern of Supply Chain Management - Inventory. By the end of this module, you'll know how to calculate the Economic Order Quantity, which is an popular method of managing inventory. In addition, you will be able to quantify the uncertainty of demand and logistical execution to select the right level of safety stock. Finally, you will be able to determine the size of a Kanban bin by calculating lead-time-demand.
Six Sigma
Six Sigma is an overview of the Six Sigma Quality System. We start by reviewing the different quality systems that were popular in the past. The main takeaway is an understanding of the DMAIC methodology. By the end of this module, you will be able to apply the DMAIC methodology to improve a process.
Lean Six Sigma
In Lean Six Sigma, you will apply all the tools you learned in this course to a project of your choosing. You will be able to show that you not only mastered the lean tools, but also the six sigma methodology to improve processes. After completing this module, you will not only have a better process, but also the ability to improve any process in a systematic manner.

來自SUPPLY CHAIN OPERATIONS的熱門評論
A very interesting and instructive course however i would love if it had a more thorough approach to the analysis tools that one can use to analyze the measurements obtained in the DMAIC methodology.
I have learned how supply chain operations work in companies. very well understood about. and detail explanation by Professer. I definitely recommand this course for begineers in this field of work.
Really interesting course, learn so much from it.\n\nAnd can't wait to continue the whole specialization.\n\nIt gave me a great insight on six sigma principles, a future green belt six sigma.
This is a very good course. The introduction of the Lean Six Sigma concept and how it applies to operation efficiency is very important to understand this part of the supply chain
The course is amazing. However, some learners are not genuine in marking other learners assignments. I would wish a valued tutor to do this for learners that are serious.
If you are looking for anything that will challenge your mindset then operations is just what you need. Expect to be intoduced to very highly rated concepts such as lean
Was a useful course. Explanations were clear enough at basic level. Was not deep in any topic. But helps us understand the basic fundamentals of Lean Six Sigma.
The professor has designed the course very simply so that it is understandable and easy to learn the basics of supply chain operations for even the beginners.
Great course that developed a very practical and didactic method of asking questions during the video to make sure students are following the topic properly.
If you're looking for a low cost entry level understanding of supply chain operations this is the best course on the market. i would recommend it to anybody.
Some things were rushed through the course but still gave a good insight into important topics such as Safety stock, Inventory management and Six Sigma.
interesting, very informative specially the Lean concepts and inventory calculations and DMAIC approaches.\n\nThanks Coursera and Academic staff team.
Concise and very useful information. I really enjoy the spreadsheet tutorials. This course contains the information I can use immediately at my work.
Course is highly recommended! Lean Six Sigma was easily but comprehensively discussed and studied through course work and assignments.
gained a good knowledge about lean manufacturing and six sigma approach, course was easy to learn and understand,had a happy learning
Great course for anyone who wants to learn more about Operations, and prepare themselves for future work in the Supply Chain sector.
It was wonderful learning, explored the supply chain operation concepts and the assignment gave me an hands on practical experience.
Learnt alot in this course, it made me see things in a different and more insightful way. Thanks to my instructor Professor Rudolf.
Was interesting, was able to get a clear view which can be used even in daily chores to get things done systematically and on time.
This was excellent course and needs the brain working all the time. I suggest to take the course for practical example case study.
