I have learned how Operations Management and Supply Chain Management differ in their focus, scope & levels of management. Operations Management focuses on the internal processes of an organization. It involves overseeing the production of goods and services, ensuring that resources are used efficiently to meet customer demand while maintaining quality

Very concise and informative, but is there no certificate awarded at the end? Quizzes would be nice as well, but overall extremely in depth and simple to understand.
Munawwar Darvesh

This course brilliantly demystifies operational efficiency. The practical frameworks and real-world case studies are immediately applicable, making you a more effective and strategic decision-maker. Highly recommended.

I recently completed the "Operations and Supply Chain Management" course by Prof. R. R. K. Sharma (IIT Kanpur) via NPTEL on YouTube. The content is very well-structured, and real-world production system insights are clearly explained. Highly recommended for students or professionals in QA/QC, R&D, or supply chain roles. Great value, especially when combined with certification via SWAYAM.

The "Operations and Supply Chain Management" course by NPTEL is well-structured and informative, offering a clear understanding of core concepts such as inventory management, logistics, forecasting, and lean systems. The instructor explains topics with real-life examples, making them easier to grasp. The pace is manageable for learners with a basic background in business or engineering. However, a few lectures could benefit from better visual aids or case studies to enhance engagement. Overall, it's a great course for anyone looking to strengthen their understanding of supply chain fundamentals.
