    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

    Dear all,

    I would STRONGLY suggest that the course/programme is re-named to:

    'Management of Food&Beverage-Products and -Brands'

    or

    'How to Manage and Market Food&Beverage-Products and -Brands'

    The current naming 'Food & Beverage Management' makes one think of a qualification for 'Food & Beverage Manager' in a hotel, restaurant.

    This is a VERY SERIOUS issue; some people already asked me if I am trying to qualify as 'F&B Manager', and indeed I am NOT!

    Best regards

    Soeren Juelsbak
