Surviving in today’s fiercely competitive business environment requires ongoing evaluation and fine-tuning of your operating model in response to changing market conditions and company business strategies. The ability to focus on your supply chain in a holistic way is critical, considering the design of a supply chain has such a profound impact on cost performance, responsiveness, reliability and working capital.  Companies who take a holistic approach to their network will be best positioned to sustain profitable growth and leverage their supply chain as a competitive advantage.

Topics to be discussed:

  • Common challenges faced by today’s supply chain practitioners
    • Increased complexity
    • Continuous improvement and cost reduction mandates
    • Decreased logistics resources with increased operational demands
    • Enhancing the customer experience
  • Focused discussion and dialogue
    • What is supply chain design and network optimization
    • How to initiate a project and when; what to expect
    • Tools in the market today
    • Practical application through case study
