As a technology practitioner myself, I was overwhelmed with the course. I learnt strategies and concepts along with the importance of adopting technology, which drives SCM and Operations, at right time. The entire learning experience became exciting with 50% of the modules framed as Gamification. I strongly recommend this course for any SCM and Operation professional in their early stages of digital adoption.

I came to know about this programme from IIMB while I was planning to upskill. My learning journey has been very enriching. While I aced all my exams, I was truly humbled with professional experience of my peers. It was an incredible experience as we learned from each other during classroom, assignments, and project submission. I have experimented with some of the tools learned during the programme and have automated my Weekly Business Reports as well as Daily Building Health reports. It has helped me to analyse data much efficiently as well as have reduced time spent by my team to collect data (which was earlier done manually). Further, based on stocking cost, we are in process of moving all my engineering stores inventory to automated tools with defined ‘Reorder points’ taking into account variability.
