IIT Bombay Launches Certificate in Supply Chain Management
Shailesh J Mehta School of Management, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT-B) and Hughes Communications India Ltd. launched the second batch of Certificate Programme in Supply Chain Management (CPSCM) on the Hughes Interactive Onsite Learning platform.
The CPSCM programme will help equip managers and professionals with foundational and advanced knowledge required to manage a myriad of complex problems and issues that confront supply chain managers. The course leverages use of technology and has been designed to be highly interactive, which includes a judicious blend of lectures, case studies, live corporate examples and sessions from business leaders from different industry.
"The supply chain management field over the years has evolved extensively, with suppliers playing a strategic role within the business management and success of the company. As company networks are becoming global, managers, too, have to operate internationally", said Prof. Karuna Jain, SJMSOM IIT Bombay.
"This programme is designed to help participants master enhanced skills, develop global mindsets and leadership styles to excel in their career. This programme also gives the aspiring participants necessary tools they require to create and manage market-leading supply chain.
"This on-the-job learning programme offers an ideal option to working professionals to learn more and add value to their existing qualifications and skills. The Hughes Interactive Onsite Learning platform is a powerful user interface that enables a large number of geographically distributed participants to have a highly interactive ‘one-to-one'/ ‘one to many' exchange with a central faculty. The system incorporates teaching through live broadcast video; two way audio and data interactivity to enable the participants to watch and interact with the faculty live on their PC's," said Partho Banerjee, president and managing director, Hughes Communications India Ltd.
This is the second consecutive year of the successful run of the Supply Chain Management Programme on Hughes Platform, and we look forward to a longer and stronger association with IIT Bombay in the years to come, Banerjee said.
The case-based curriculum offered through the course includes lessons on global business environment, metrics of measuring, strategising and planning an efficient supply chain.
