Course Overview

The Manufacturing Systems I certification by Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge via Edx is an 8-week online course. This online certification course is designed to provide learners with an understanding of seemingly indistinct production lines with a particular emphasis on disruptive events like their effects and how to cope with them, along with inventory dynamics and management. A part of the Principles of Manufacturing MicroMasters program, the Manufacturing Systems I online course from MIT via edX exposes learners to how to assess manufacturing systems to optimize performance and control cost.

The Manufacturing Systems I certification syllabus covers essential topics that provide learners with the basis to enter the manufacturing field and get placed in roles such as operations managers, supply chain managers and others. This online certification course can be pursued by anyone who studied calculus, probability and statistics at the undergraduate level. The Manufacturing Systems I certification course has Verified Track through which students will get access to complete course materials, video lectures, graded assignments, and assessments with a shareable certificate. Students can enroll in the free audit track with limited access or they can look to upgrade directly to the paid verified track.
