🚀 Operational Excellence Beyond Textbooks: Bridging Classroom & Industry
What does Operational Excellence actually look like in high-stakes, real-world supply chains?
During the second session of the Operational Excellence Programme (OEP) 2026–27, our students got a first-hand look into the industry through an engaging session with Ms. Kalpana Kamalakannan, Head – Quality & Environment Management, Digitization at DHL Global Forwarding.
Ms. Kalpana unpacked the 5 Core Pillars driving today's modern supply chains: 🔹 Customer 🔹 Process 🔹 People 🔹 Data & Technology 🔹 Continuous Improvement
Beyond core frameworks, students got hands-on experience with real-world problem-solving tools like 5 Whys, Fishbone Analysis, PDCA, and CAPA, alongside essential communication frameworks like Active Listening and the Funnel Technique.
🔥 The Highlight: A high-pressure crisis simulation! Teams were tasked with resolving a delayed ₹25-lakh medical shipment, forcing them to analyze root causes, collaborate, and deliver an executive crisis pitch under pressure.
💡 Key Takeaway: Employability = Knowledge × Application × Behaviour
As supply chains rapidly evolve from Lean to AI-driven models, technical skills alone aren't enough—adaptability, structured problem-solving, and seamless collaboration are what make true supply chain leaders.
A huge thank you to Ms. Kalpana Kamalakannan for an enriching, highly practical session! 👏
