About the Course

Digital transformation, which refers to the use of Data, Analytics, and Automation, has been applied by a few innovative companies, from Apple to Amazon to Dell, to transform their businesses and achieve a significant increase in revenue and profit while decreasing costs. In all these cases, the objective is to apply business analytics to transform the way an organization manages its business, from manufacturing, supply chain, marketing, and revenue optimization all the way to understanding consumer’s preferences and innovating new products.

This digital disruption is now motivating many companies in a variety of industries to reinvent their supply chains, from demand and supply planning to production and distribution. IIM Mumbai is proud to present the Global Online Certification Program on Supply Chain Digitization and Management in association with Prof. David Simchi-Levi (MIT, USA). This course introduces Professor Simchi-Levi’s unique framework that combines the three technology trends - Digitization, Analytics, and Automation to reinvent the supply chain.
