Very appropriate. Allows one to think beyond Operations Management in the traditional sense but to look at strategy and quality implications in the digital age.

An excellent course for process improvement, the bad thing is that the lessons are very long almost 30 minutes should be shorter and more or look as you improve in the online part

This course is a hot mess.
Poorly managed class. Long, slow videos do not actually explain anything in context of real world experiences or applications.
A very good package which covers the latest trends on digitalization in operations & reviews about quality & strategy elaborately. This is useful for modern manufacturing trend.

This Course keeps up with the business world and I'm sure it will improve with every day it exists. And it most certainly is shaping the way education is accessed and also delivered in a world that otherwise would just stagnate. Those insights are invaluable, because otherwise I would have not been able to evolve and grab new opportunities in the workforce that indeed is rapidly changing! Please do continue and improve your process and you will be a well visited and known landmark to students all over the world.
An amazing course giving insights of Operation Management strategy, Disruptive Innovation, Service Operation Management, Quality Management and Importance of Industrial Revolution 4.0 in a crisp & lucid way. Unique feature of this course is that it provides relevant case studies while delivering theoretical aspects as well as peer assessment over practical topics. I would like to thank Ashok Leyland & Coursera for providing this amazing platform to get notions of Operations Management in this digital age !!
This course offers more than I expected. Some topics were even better explained as in my "real" Six Sigma education, even they were mentioned more tools. I really enjoyed the chapter - VSM, where was everything step-by-step explained. There are few online Six Sigma courses, that are at least 10 times more expensive and I need to admit, that in case that this course would be a little bit tune up, it could be a relevant and competitive Green Belt and Lean Manufacturing Leader course.
A very nice course from Illinois University with a precious lecturer Gopesh Anand I learned a lot of manuals from him and his slides will always show me the way in future if I get confused about Process Improvement.
This is a comprehensive course on process improvement with practical examples. Dr. Gopesh Anand is an excellent orator who explains even most difficult areas of the course with ease. I have had taken lean six sigma training from private organisations earlier, but this course offers definitely more insight to process improvement, which comes from the empirical research experience of Dr. Anand. I would strongly recommend this course to all process improvement professionals.
Excellent Course Operations Management: Strategy and Quality Management for the Digital Age. Some topics were even better explained as in my "real" Six Sigma education, even they were mentioned more tools. I really enjoyed the chapter - VSM, where was everything step-by-step explained. This will give you different perceptive of thinking in any process with advanced quality approach and strategy to improve the process, function, business or organization.
The course could be a little more concisely presented, but on the other hand, there is a lot of depth provided in the important areas.
Much like the prequel course, it was great to have assignments that use Excel data, and which require substantial calculations and application of statistical techniques, as this allows you to practise and demonstrate the knowledge and skills acquired from the course.
Course design is well manner and ease for all to access and grab the skills of Operation Management strategy, Disruptive Innovation, Service Operation Management, Quality Management and Importance of Industrial revolution 4.0 with Specific Examples. I would like to say the Coursera and Ashok Leyland to provide the platform to learn operations strategy in digital age of world
Overall great professor. The the course has a lot of real life examples. Would recommend the professor using a book in conjunction with notes. There are power points but they are limited on information that's given. Then there's transcripts that have all the information in the video. However you're looking at is 50 + Pages of paper for the ranscripts.
Nice course. It cleared my concepts about the basics of operations strategy, quality management, and the role of industry 4.0 in supply chain management. The overall course is comprehensive in nature but I strongly recommend stressing more on the role of Industry 4.0 and its allied technologies in shaping the digital strategy of the firm.
It is a great course about process improvement including both Lean and Six Sigma methodologies. The course content is thorough from strategy to speicifc tools, I think it is valuable for both beginners and practitioners. will recommend parts of content to upper and middle management in my company.
Great course, highly engaging and challenging. The processes discussed are immediately being applied in the workplace by some of the students, while still in class. It also reveals the new trends in the marketplace and evolving technologies. Though, it's a tough course with a lot of quantitative.
Professor Palekar explains complicated subjects clearly. Easy to follow. The course is a good balance between theory, examples and exercises. I will recommend to those who are interested in quality management in a new age as well to beginners who want to know the evolution of quality management.
Great overview of process management, including analysis and optimization. Enough info to help you move from having general ideas of how to improve processes to actually having the tools and knowledge to approach process improvement methodically and scientifically.
Best of the course for me was recognizing how services can be 'operationalized' and I particularly loved the '5 gap analysis' of the Customer Satisfaction gap. Very insightful and a great model for thinking how to better improve your organization's services.
