PGDSCM – Post Graduate Diploma in Supply Chain Management
(Regular Entry)
The PG Diploma in Supply Chain Management is developed in response to views consistently expressed by Industry practitioners in recent years, based on evolving trends in the Industry. Especially, during the last two decades, manufacturing and service industries were preoccupied mainly with firm-level improvement strategies, such as manufacturing resource planning (MRP II), just-in-time (JIT) systems and business process reengineering (BPR). In recent years, however, the need to improve inter-firm communication and coordination along the supply chain has been realized as the new frontier in improving operations management. Ever-increasing customer demands on product price, quality, variety, lead-time, and the need to pursue mass customization have forced companies to focus attention not only on internal operations, but also on ensuring coordinated response on the part of the entire supply chain, including suppliers and distributors.
The professionals in this domain require decision tools and are scientifically trained to meet the increasing challenge in the market place. Moreover, the demand for such professionals has also gone up. There is a vast population of such professionals who are not able to spare time for formal education in this domain. Keeping this in mind, (CII-IL) along with Indian Institute of Materials Management as our knowledge partner launched this distance-learning program in 2004. This is a 6 semester program, which can be completed in three years. The program has structured content with case studies, exercises and a well-defined evaluation process. The governance system for this course has a policy committee and an education council to drive value. The representatives are drawn from academia and Industry to ensure that the program provides ample opportunities for learning theoretical and conceptual materials, which are validated with Industry experience
