This course is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the supply chain's significant impact on a company's financial performance and how utilizing data and optimization techniques can drive cost savings and strategic decision-making in today’s turbulent business environment.
Our course has three main goals: • First, you will learn how supply chain management serves as a powerful lever for cost savings through effective management of products and services flows, information flows, and financial flows. You will learn optimization techniques to facilitate strategic decision-making to manage these flows along the entire supply chain. • Second, the course explores how supply chains can mitigate risks of today’s turbulent times through operational flexibility and aligning incentives between supply chain partners. You will learn how to develop collaborative and global strategies which benefit the entire supply chain. • Finally, the course highlights the potential of new technologies for supply chain management. Here we are also in an age of turbulence, with advancements in computing power and communication speed rapidly yielding new and innovative technological solutions. With the foundational understanding of the supply chain and its potential for optimization, you will be equipped to creatively adopt new technologies in your own supply chain.

I am currently in my third semester of my bachelor’s degree and have just completed this Coursera course on Strategic Supply Chain Management. What made this course particularly valuable to me is that, even though I had already taken the Logistics and Supply Chain Management module at TUM, it offered additional insights that encouraged me to explore the topic in greater depth. It helped me realize that there is much more to supply chain management than what can be covered in a three-month university course. Of course, what I learned at university was by no means insufficient, but rather very broad. Attending a course that focused more deeply on specific aspects of the field was therefore especially interesting and enriching.
I am truly grateful to the 'Technical University of Munich' for offering such a valuable certification program in 'Strategic Supply Chain Management in Turbulent Times'. The course provided deep insights into concepts and practical applications as well as the analytics that will be instrumental to apply in real life scenarios. A special thanks to Professor (Dr.) Holly Ott for her exceptional teaching, guidance, and ability to simplify complex ideas into real-world solutions. The journey through this course has been both enriching and inspiring.
This course is fine and great as introduction to Supply Chain Management The examples and slides are enough and with professor explanation everything is smooth and fun Professor Holly is one of the best really , I have taken her Six sigma course on udicty which was a very great course. I hope professor Holly make a specialization( a series of courses in which she continues teaching Supply Chain)
Very insightful course! It offers a wide range of practical exercises with detailed, step-by-step mathematical solutions that solve real-life supply chain problems. I highly recommend it to beginners who want to build a strong foundation, as well as experienced professionals looking to strengthen their knowledge.
Amazing course packed with invaluable insights and crystal-clear explanations! Holly Ott is truly in a league of her own—her teaching style is engaging, and her explanations make complex concepts feel easy. Highly recommended, 110%!
