Supply chains are networks of facilities and distribution options that perform the
functions of procurement of materials, transformation of these materials into intermediate
and finished products, and the distribution of these finished products to customers.
Supply chains exist in both service and manufacturing organisations, although the
complexity of the chain may vary greatly from industry to industry and firm to firm.
The supply chain philosophy applies a total systems approach to manage the entire
flow of information, materials and services from raw material suppliers through
factory and warehouses to the end customers. Supply chains, today, have become
ubiquitous and an understanding of supply chain management is extremely important
for today's professionals.
To be a successful supply chain professional, one needs to possess analytical ability,
contemporary technological skills, and systems and systemic approach in thinking
and modelling. This certificate course in Supply Chain Management is focused on
these objectives and on updating strategic, operational and tactical skills with
the aid of cases and hands-on exercises.
The main purposes of this course are to help you:
- Understand and use "supply chain philosophy" – an integrated and
rigorous way of looking at problems.
- Identify supply chain management problems at your workplace.
- Set the correct objectives in solving these problems.
- Select appropriate solution techniques.
- Collect data and find the best solution.
- Above all, implement the solution.
IMPLEMENTING SUPPLY CHAIN
Companies like Asian paints, Wipro, Reliance group of companies, Ashok Leyland,
Cummins, Gillette, Marico, Mahindra and Mahindra, MICO, Nicholas Piramal, Ranbaxy,
Shoppers' Stop, Titan Industries, Tata Motors, Tata steel and many other benefited
a lot from supply chain initiatives. The benefits include delivery at significantly
reduced time, a reduction in overall system inventory, aligning supply closely with
demand, and, as a cumulative effect of all these, increasing the return on capital.
To be specific, Maruti Suzuki India Limited generated over 29% cost reduction by
the effective use of supply chain. The diversity of supply chain applications can
be easily understood from Capgemeni which implemented over 1400 projects for its
clients in the year 2007.
