 Hello everyone, welcome to this NPTEL course on supply chain digitization that has been launched by Indian Institute of Management Mumbai under the directives of Ministry of Education, Government of India and as a part of our role as the nodal institute for PM Gati Shakti. As the nodal organization for PM Gati Shakti, IIM Mumbai aims at capability building in the domain of logistics and supply chain management for the country. This ambitious project targets the development of national logistics infrastructure and acceleration of capacity building through robust and efficient logistics, multimodal logistics, state of the art warehousing and digital initiatives in the supply chain management. This course has been developed under the guidance of director IIM Mumbai, Professor Manoj Kumar Diwari and this will be taught by three faculty members from IIM Mumbai including myself, Professor Priyanka Varma and my colleagues, Professor Chushpita Narayana Aghalya and Professor Deva Brathadas. Supply chains are increasingly becoming digital with the easy availability of data related to operations and purchase, payments getting digitized and with the advent of platform economy. While data visibility helps streamline operations, the supply chains face complexities due to variabilities that span industries, geographies and markets. This course aims to equip the participant with an introduction of digitalization in supply chain and also about the application of analytics in the different domains of supply chain management. Industries such as FMCG, e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, transportation and logistics, public distribution companies as well as consultancy firms will definitely value this particular course.
