What were the most compelling topics learned in this course?

The whole supply chain operation was most compelling to me. I mean who new there were so many components to running a business let alone the supply chain has so many parts. Combined with all the logistics of the business strategy the supply chain is the most important part to me. How will it be shipped? Who will ship it? How long will it take? What are the costs? Is your plan effective? Was your plan goo enough? What changes need to be made to your plan? I mean and the list goes on. To the average person it is discouraging but to me it’s a challenge because I know that I will succeed in this adventure.

Identify 2–3 concepts from the materials course that you are able to say helped you the best in understanding the supply chain and logistics.

The supply chain is the backbone of any company. It begins with procuring the materials or services needed to create the end product and continues until the finished goods are in the customer’s hands. Effective supply chain strategy begins with solid long-term decision-making. The strategy level lays the groundwork for the entire supply chain process, from beginning to end, and is an essential part of supply chain management. The operational level of supply chain management is the most obvious. These are the day-to-day processes, decision-making, and planning that take place to keep the supply chain active. The mistake that many companies make is to jump straight into operational management without focusing on the strategy and tactical levels. Effective operational level processes are the result of strong strategical and tactical planning. The concept of reverse logistics is related to reuse of used in a supply chain. While logistics is involved with reaching the goods to the customer, reverse logistics is involved with sending some goods at least one step back i.e., to the distributor or to the manufacturers in a supply chain. Reverse logistics has an important role in the competitiveness, pricing and profit/loss of an industry .

Has this course given you tangible considerations that you can apply in your life

Yes this course has given me a tangible consideration that I can apply to my business part of life. But it has also made me think to ask questions in my personal life as well. But it is a continued learning process. So from a tangible stand point, all things are very limited or short term to be “the most important in my life”. Still I will attempt to answer this question but not limited to tangibles. I would say “continued learning throughout my life” is the most important thing in my life. With this intangible thing “continued learning”, I can do anything. I learn from mistakes and failure. The tangibles only provide a means for our continued learning. Without continued learning, we stagnate and perish. That’s why I consider “continued learning” the most important thing in my life

What approaches could have yielded additional valuable information

The approaches I have decided on were not always effective. So I really rely on the internet. I try the books but it’s a bunch of other people thoughts and research. The internet seems best so its not always accurate. So I learned to combine the both of them to get the best and the most accurate results as possible. That way you put it in your own words. The best way to get valuable information for me. In the intellepath it only explained in short form. So you have to do your own research. They also have the learning materials that help allot because they have Questions and answers and most of them are questions that you will ask for yourself.
