SPJIMR > Executive Education > MDPs > Open Management Development Programmes > Digital Supply Chain and Logistics Transformation: Analytics, AI and Data-Driven Decision Making

Programme overview

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, supply chains are becoming increasingly digital, data-driven, and intelligent. Managers are expected not only to manage operations but also to interpret data, leverage analytics, and understand emerging digital technologies transforming logistics and supply chain management.

This programme demystifies supply chain analytics using practical tools such as Excel and introduces the role of AI and digital technologies in transforming logistics and supply chains. Through hands-on exercises, real-world examples, and guided analytics practice, participants will learn how to convert operational data into actionable insights and make better supply chain decisions. The programme is designed for managers with little or no prior exposure to analytics and focuses on practical learning rather than complex mathematics.
