Testimonial

Dr Wang is a humble, patient, encouraging, and committed tutor. While imparting inventory planning skills and knowledge to us, his learn-it-all attitude impressed upon me as a role model for learning and excelling in study and in life. My takeaway from him far exceeds the course objective of Inventory Planning. Thank you Dr Wang.
