I really loved the lesson. The videos were great, short but to the point, combined with the readings, this is a perfect introduction to Lean. The assignments were as challenging as they should regarding difficulty. The missing star is due to the peer grading system. It is highly problematic. I shall speak based on my personal experience and give two examples: 1. There were two assignments of my peers that were of higher level of mine and I could not offer any constructive feedback for improvement. 2. There was one peer whose assignment did not receive a passing grade from me. I extensivelly explained how he should answer the last two parts of the second week assignment and also offered two examples for each part. Then when I submitted the 3rd week assignment he gave me non passing grades and no constructive feedback. I had no explanation and so I resubmitted the same assignment and the second time it passed with 100% grades. I read the articles at help center, the Code of Conduct, etc. Instead of getting me to report someone (and by the way there is no email address to send the sceenshots and complaints to) why put me in this position at the first place. Install an algorithm that will prevent someone to review your assignment if he didn't get a passing grade from you.

The course content is good and a good introduction to mindset / tools for lean. There are potential improvements: the reading material reading time estimation is lower than reality. the assignments are well designed but they take more time than estimated. I would also prefer a synthetic summary or text support rather than just video+transcript. It is very time consuming to take notes and structure the learning. the video format is also time consuming and problematic to follow sometimes: for example I was focusing on the transcript but the video is in a small size and it's impossible to see the diagrams shown to illustrate the point. The best formula would be to have a theoritical course with slides and audio. Then case studies to read with an assignment associated. The transcripts are automated probably but a quick check of the text could help to correct it. As the Italian or german person's english is no transcripted correctly.

For me it was a very nice course, I really enjoyed it and learned from it.

The missing star is only for the certificate :(, I did all the quiz when I was attending course on-time and they were bit easy, however to pay a $72 for me was too difficult knowing that my monthly income is barely below $275, that means about 26% of my monthly income.

Anyway that is the situation of our economy and thank you anyway for the learning chance you are giving us

The most useful thing was to discover the main tools of lean management, which is something very fashionable but still sometimes rather vague. Nevertheless, I think that from the point of view of the sociology of organizations some criticisms are made about this management method and it would have been interesting to have information on this point.

Learn how to deconstruct tasks and distinguish value from waste creation. Learn about tools that can be employed to decrease waste and optimise value creating activities. I would like to have access to sample solutions to the assignments after submitting my own work.

Good course to understand Lean applications in Services as well. Good assignments which forces to apply your mind for creating industry scenarios, identifying wastes, suggesting lean improvements.

I'd love that the exams were a little bit harder. Also, just doing self assestment has the problem that there's no real feedback from the mentors

Very perfect and useful in career development to all people who work or interest in manufacturing products and services

the content was good, but the syntax did not match the speaker at times and audio was not understood at times.

Excellent course to learn lean techniques and how to apply in manufacturing as well as service industry.

good foundational learnings, that being said, youtube was equally as helpful in my understandings!

Very interesting course covering some good content. Regular quizzes to test your understanding

It was a great training for me because i'm in industrial engeneeting. It helps me.

Great course for beginners in Lean. Some quiz questions need to be reviewed.

Nice and well put out course. Very grateful to team BCG and coursera

Fantastic course, everyone should study this... Thank you...

I have gain more information about lean manufacturing
