“This is an attempt to fill the vacuum of any such program in the country. Supply chain management used to be a subset of operations management but now it is an integral part of operations and has become the backbone of many industry or services. With the advent of e-commerce and online marketplaces in the retail sector, the smart consumer today is not just looking for a good product at a competitive price point. The delivery time is also a critical deciding factor for him which the supplier need to respect. With this comes the ‘anticipatory shipping’ practiced at the Amazon and similar predictive analytics tools, used by Walmart or Flipkart as they need to know in real time where the products are, the route of the transportation does not deviate, item is not damaged, delay in delivery doesn’t happen to result in a return of the ordered-item by the customer”, says Prof. (Dr.) Sourabh Bhattacharya, Faculty, Operations Management at IMT Hyderabad.
The duration of the workshop is 12 days, starting from 14 May to 25 May 2018 and candidates from the area of Research scholars from Operations Management and allied areas, Faculty members of Operations Management and allied areas and Industry Practitioners who are into operations or planning to undertake research in Operations Management are eligible to apply for this program.
