Supply Chain Management

The Supply Chain Management (SCM) program is a comprehensive, industry-aligned course designed to equip learners with end-to-end knowledge of modern supply chains. This program covers everything from foundational concepts to advanced strategies, technology integration, global operations, and sustainability practices.

Learners begin with the core principles of supply chain management, understanding key components, stakeholders, and the flow of materials, information, and finances. The course then progresses into supply chain strategy and network design, helping students align supply chain decisions with competitive business objectives.

A strong emphasis is placed on demand forecasting, planning, and inventory management, enabling learners to make data-driven decisions while handling demand uncertainty and optimizing stock levels. Modules on procurement, sourcing, supplier relationship management, and contract negotiation prepare learners to manage vendors and build resilient supplier networks.

The program also provides in-depth exposure to warehouse operations, logistics, and transportation management, including last-mile delivery challenges and the role of third-party logistics providers (3PL, 4PL, and 5PL). Learners gain practical insights into digital supply chains, exploring the use of ERP systems, data analytics, IoT, AI, and blockchain in optimizing supply chain performance.

Global supply chain dynamics are addressed through modules on international trade regulations, import–export processes, Incoterms, and customs clearance, preparing learners for cross-border operations. The course further emphasizes risk management and business continuity planning, enabling professionals to respond effectively to disruptions and uncertainties.

Sustainability is a key focus, with dedicated coverage on green supply chains, circular economy principles, and corporate social responsibility (CSR). The program concludes with real-world case studies from leading organizations such as Amazon, Walmart, Flipkart, DHL, and Apple, followed by a capstone project where learners design an end-to-end supply chain solution for a chosen industry.

This course is ideal for students, management graduates, working professionals, and aspiring supply chain leaders seeking practical, future-ready skills to excel in logistics, operations, procurement, and supply chain strategy roles across industries.
