I have had multiple jobs in the past that have allowed me to understand the effects of exterior variables on supply chain from a sales standpoint. This in turn has shifted my career path to the procurement side of manufacturing. This course has allowed me to see just how many facets there are to the purchasing side of manufacturing, and how much of the knowledge I have from my sales experience will help me to gain a deeper understanding of Purchasing//Procurement. This course was very well put together and i recommend it to anyone seeing a better understanding of Purchasing.
