Supply Chain Management is a focus of extensive teaching and research at Indian Institute of Management (IIM, Mumbai), formerly known as National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE). With a focus on logistics management, inbound/outbound transportation, network design, modelling, and optimization, partnership and negotiation, information technology and e-commerce, and end-to-end supply chain management strategies, IIM, Mumbai has conducted dedicated research, teaching, and consulting activities.
IIM Mumbai established the Centre of Excellence in Logistics and Supply Chain Management (commonly referred to as the CoE), a strategic multidisciplinary Centre within IIM Mumbai, in response to the need for an efficient mechanism to foster deeper and longer-lasting industry-institute collaboration. The COE is dedicated to conducting specialised theoretical and applied research on supply chain management with participation from a multidisciplinary faculty and industry practitioners. The Centre builds on IIM Mumbai's strengths in research, education, and the integration of inter-functional business disciplines to serve as a valuable knowledge-generating resource. It also helps to create cutting-edge strategies and workable solutions to issues that organisations face when managing end-to-end supply chains.
