Supply Chain and Logistics Programme


Helping to improve your global supply chain strategy


Increased demand variability, globalization, global sourcing, geopolitical risk and currency fluctuations mean that responsiveness and agility have become the core attributes of a competitive supply chain network. A high-performance responsive supply chain that focuses on continuous improvements leads directly to competitive advantage. As market information and professional advice is very often difficult to obtain, this year we have invited supply chain leading experts from Unilever, Nokia, Adidas, McDonald’s, Samsung, Henkel, Beiersdorf, Siemens and many other companies to discuss the best strategies for developing resiliency and agility in your supply chain. At every stage, you will hear stimulating, thought-provoking presentations. The emphasis is firmly on real solutions, delivered by people with real, first-hand experience.

Collaboration Concepts for Co-modality

The CO3 (Collaboration Concepts for Co-modality) project is aimed at addressing horizontal collaboration. Companies who collaborate and bundle their logistic flows can achieve dramatic benefits on economic, social and environmental levels. Up to now, shippers who want to collaborate in this way are too often hindered by practical (both operational and legal) obstacles in their way.

It is one of the goals of “Collaborative Concepts for Co-Modality (CO³)” to eliminate these obstacles.

INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP HOSTED BY KINAXIS

The Myth of the One-Number Plan

For some time, there has been a movement to drive the entire organisation from a single operating number, usually the budget. In theory that is a good thing, as long as you have the right number. The budget is what the company wants or wishes to happen; very seldom is it what is going to happen. For that matter, so is the sales forecast. Learn how range planning can reduce risks and breed a more profitable operation by working on the premise that being ‘roughly right’ is far better than being ‘precisely wrong’.
