"We are holding talks with Nasscom to offer domain knowledge in supply chain management to help professionals engaged in developing material management solutions," IIMM President B V Iyer said here today.
Iyer said it would not be a detailed course and modules would be offered to help IT companies to give inhouse training.
IIMM was also trying to offer solutions to companies in reducing farm losses with better supply chain management solutions, Iyer said.
"We are only institute in the country working towards material handling and supply chain management," Iyer said.
He said there was huge demand for material management and supply chain management professionals. Currently, IIM produced around 1,000 professionals in different courses.
"Besides, graduate programs, we have launched diploma for supply chain for retail stores and will soon introduce diploma for hospital supply chain management and infrastructure projects to keep abreast with the industry demands," Iyer said.
Speaking about the Institute, Iyer said that presentation has been made to the government to get chartership acknowledgment which would place them on par with the Chartered Institute and Institute of Secretaries and Institute of Costs and Works.
