Comment by Md Nasrullah Khan on December 9, 2010 at 1:47am: I have put this in the general forum as well..however, this looks like a more focussed place...

I worked in SCM practice of Infosys Technologies Ltd., for 3.8 years, in the implementation of Sterling SCM software application for world-leading retail-industry clients, in modules like OMS, WMS, Supply Collaboration, Inventory Management etc.

I have quit the job about 6 months ago am now pursuing MBA in Operations Management in a top management institute in India.

I want to make a career in SCM consulting, research space. Not very clear how to go forward. Particularly so since I come from an IT background. I am thinking of gaining more knowledge by doing a focused PGDSCM (Post Graduate Diploma in Supply Chain Management) or a diploma in fields like MM/Logistics/Retail SCM etc., to enhance my knowledge, primarily, and also to boost my future career and placement opportunities.

However, please suggest if it would be too much of a redundancy with the existing MBA that I am already doing. Moreover, please give me ideas on how to model my career in SCM space like:
1. What activities like case studies/live projects etc., should I involve myself in
2. Which courses etc., should I take up
3. Any other advice relating to making best use of my student time of 2 years to gain expertise and boost career chances in the SCM domain...

as I come from an IT background which is a natural drawback if I want to work in a non-IT firm dealing with real world SCM in the near future..
