identify the knowledge and qualities necessary for managers to
compete in the constantly changing global environment.
The M.Tech. programme in Manufacturing Management is offered with
an intention to develop aspiring professionals into technology leaders
who possess in-depth, relevant manufacturing knowledge, bridging
manufacturing engineering and management. The programme
approaches manufacturing as a global enterprise and seeks to
empower its graduates with a unique set of engineering, business, and
quality skills that enable them to be effective leaders in their workplace
and domain. The programme has been designed for working learners
who aspire, or have been identified by their employers, for future
leadership roles.
