The Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) has been actively pursuing Supply Chain Management as a major area of teaching and research. With a distinguished faculty line-up including world-class scholars and a talented pool of researchers and doctoral students (Fellow Programme in Management), IIMB has carried out dedicated research, teaching and consulting activities in different aspects of Supply Chain Management covering logistics management, inbound/outbound transportation, network design, modeling and optimization, partnership and negotiation, information technology and e-commerce and end-to-end Supply Chain Management strategies.
Recognizing the need for an effective mechanism to promote closer and enduring industry-institute collaboration, IIMB has started the SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT CENTRE (SCMC), a strategic multidisciplinary Centre of Excellence within IIMB, dedicated to carrying out specialized theoretical and applied research on Supply Chain Management with participation from a multidisciplinary faculty and industry practitioners. The Centre builds upon the strengths of IIMB in research, education, and integration of inter-functional business disciplines to serve as a valuable knowledge-generating resource, and contributes to development of cutting-edge strategies and practical solutions to problems encountered by organizations in the management of end-to-end supply chains.
