I took the Certificate in Production Planning and Control course at Stanmore School of Business to gain a better understanding of the production planning process. The course was pretty good, and I liked how it covered both the theoretical and practical aspects of production planning. The course materials were decent, but I felt that some of the examples could have been more relevant to my industry. Nevertheless, I gained some useful knowledge and skills, particularly in the area of inventory management. One thing that I found really helpful was the discussion forum, where I could interact with other students and get feedback from the instructor. Overall, it was a worthwhile experience, and I'd recommend it to others who are looking to improve their production planning skills.
