Competing through Operations Excellence
Programme Directors : Prof. Anshuman Tripathy
Programme Dates : 09 – 12 July 2018
Programme Venue : M-21, IIMB Campus
Programme Overview : The traditional view of operations as a cost center is no longer relevant. Instead, companies are getting constantly challenged in both, the perceived value proposition that they provide to their customers and in margins that they get in the ever commoditization of markets. In such an environment they are constantly challenged to excel in their operations to not only remain competitive but be ahead of their competition. Today firms have restructured their operations practice to be lean and nimble; but while just about a decade back the focus was on strengthening the manufacturing practices in the factories, today an integrated end-to-end view of operations, from innovation to sourcing & manufacturing to finally delivering to the customer, is vital.
This requires companies to have a firm grip on both: the structural and infrastructural decisions that drive excellence in operations. We cover both these aspects with a mix of decision-oriented and best practice cases that cover the gamut of decisions that companies need to be involved in towards excellence in operations. In all instances we explore the implications of such decisions and practices on the ability of the companies to gain competitive advantage in their respective markets. We cover a range of companies in manufacturing, service and retail industries. Looking into the future, we also discuss the implications of emerging trends like industrial revolution 4.0, blockchain technologies, etc.
