Operations
Management is the function of managing the
operating core of an organisation: the activities
associated with creation, production, distribution
and delivery of the organisation's goods
and services. The Operations Management
Group at IIM Lucknow seeks to provide Indian
organisations the knowledge base relating
to this operating core, to help them become
domestically and internationally competitive.
Specifically, the group works on identifying,
developing, documenting, interpreting for
practice, and disseminating innovative approaches
in Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management.
These approaches are based on model-based
research and synthesis of best practices
from around the world. |
|
| The
group aims to do the following: |
|
 |
Educating
and training committed professionals
for Operations Management practice |
|
Undertaking
research and consulting studies
on issues of significance in Operations
Management |
|
Motivating
and preparing professionals for academic/
research careers in Operations Management |
|
|
Towards
fulfilling the above aims, the group has
been offering a well-subscribed concentration
area in Operations Management in the Post-Graduate
Programme for the last several years. The
group has also conducted several Management
Development Programmes and has been engaged
in consulting/ research projects in the
area. |
|
The
goal of the doctoral programme in Operations
Management at IIM Lucknow is to create a
cadre of motivated professionals to take
up teaching, training, and research in Operations
Management for the 21st century. The programme
brings together technologies, quantitative
techniques, computer modelling, and managerial
perspectives in studying and solving problems
of significance in Operations Management. |
|
The
academic activities of the group are supported
by one of the country's best selections
of Operations Management related books and
national/ international periodicals. Further
enrichment of teaching, training and research
activities is enabled by an independent
laboratory with its own IT infrastructure
and the country's best collection of Operations
Management related software. These collections
of learning materials are comparable to
world standards. |
