Aimed at equipping students and faculty members with industry-relevant skills, the programme integrates principles of Lean Manufacturing with Agile methodologies to improve operational efficiency, minimise waste, enhance quality, promote teamwork and strengthen problem-solving capabilities.
During the interaction, Sayeedeep, Prabha Narayan and Akshay, representing the Mizuho India Japan Study Centre at IIM-B, outlined the programme’s objectives, structure, delivery model, and expected outcomes.
