    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.
