Description
Hi! My name is Eric Esajian! Thank you so much for taking my course, I hope you'll find it as rewarding as I did creating it. A little bit about myself: I spent six years in the United States Marine Corps where I specialized in logistics. This is where my interest in supply chain began! Shortly after being honorably discharged, I pursued a bachelors degree in economics from Cal State Fullerton, then a masters degree in global supply chain management from the University of Southern California. I spent years as a supply chain analyst having worked for American Apparel, Vans, Cotton Heritage, and now I'm currently a business intelligence engineer at Amazon developing tools for their supply chain. From my decade plus years of experience, I hope to give you all an overview and summation of what I spent countless dollars and hours learning. This course is intended to be an introduction to the supply chain field going through the major topics I believe are the most important.
