Department of Management Studies

Highlighting the need for such courses, Prof. Rahul Marathe, Professor, Department of Management Studies IIT Madras, said, “Managers need to take critical decisions that have to be based on available information and data.

That makes data-driven decision-making skills the most critical skill in organizations today. ‘Decision Sciences’ can aid managers build the required framework to take optimal decisions, said Professor Rahul Marathe of IIT Madras.

He further said This theory encompasses important elements such as mathematical and empirical modelling. Today’s world is characterized by uncertainty – uncertainty in the environment, in the data and hence in the results.

Hence, a good understanding of uncertainty and its impact of optimal decision-making is critical. A good manager needs to be skilled in decision-making under uncertainty, said Prof Rahul of IIT Madras.

Further, the program includes modules on applications of these analytical tools to day-to-day decisions the managers are required to take, say sources from IIT Madras.

For example, operations decisions such as inventory optimization, supply chain management, network design, logistics planning, and services management can be analyzed mathematically, say sources from IIT Madras.

The same analytical tools are relevant in sectors such as healthcare management, agriculture, public policy, etc. The program includes cases from these industries.

Learning outcomes

Key Learning Outcomes expected from this course:

Ø Describe various methods of analytical modelling

Ø Demonstrate the application of modelling to areas of supply chain management

Ø Experiment with the dynamic and stochastic nature of supply chain management

Ø Formulate an operations and/or a supply chain problem as an analytical model and solve it using appropriate methodologies.

Ø Design an analytical decision-making tool for the supply chain configuration in specific industries and organizations

The Institute offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes leading to B.Tech., M.Sc., M.B.A., M.Tech., M.S., and Ph.D., degrees in a variety of specialisations.
