Indian Institute of Management Bangalore Elective Course: Sales and Operations Planning Course Outline 2013-14 PGP: V Term

Instructor: LS Murty D Block I Floor Ph: 3044; e-mail: lsmurty@iimb.ernet.in

Course Objective: Ever since the beginning, the objectives of organisations evolved from availability to low cost to quality and shorter lead-time. Accordingly, the manufacturing systems evolved through job shops, mass production lines and just-in-time systems. Under the present conditions of intense global competition, the objectives are expanded to include variety and flexibility as well. There has also been an increasing awareness about the need for intraorganizational and interorganizational integration for firms to effectively compete within and across supply chains. With a view to address this context, this course, though anchored in Operations Planning, is positioned at the interface of marketing and operations functions and addresses the integration of sales planning and operations planning.
