Reviews
1. I liked the atmosphere of the class. It was filled with real-life examples that I understood, which was important to me because this job is my first experience in the Logistics & Operations team. I also appreciated that we went over extensive content. I often find it difficult to navigate Supplier Academy if I don’t know where it is I should be looking, so the thoroughness was very helpful. 2. Lori was an exceptional instructor; she spoke very clearly on the point she made. Personally, I found it more engaging because she was fun. Her exuberance and passion over teaching this class was very much noticed, and there were no wrong questions to ask. I appreciated her willingness to answer my questions, even if she had to rephrase it when I was confused. 3. There were no areas that I found confusing upon leaving the class. I did come in with a few questions, and may have even had questions during the class, but most were answered by Lori. I left the class with a very clear understanding of what I should think of to improve our OTIF score.
