Details

This event are complex networks of shifting priorities and contradicting strategies. But the sheer breadth of supply chains leaves them vulnerable to multiple risks. When disruptions hit, they hit hard, and the effects can be felt throughout your network.

Creating resilience in your supply chain is critical to building a secure, responsive and cost-effective operation. To do this, supply chain leaders must:
• Collaborate effectively with partners and stakeholders across the value chain
• Take the AI initiative to combat fragility and multiply productivity
• Proactively remove bottlenecks and inefficiencies upstream with increased visibility
• Embed agility into downstream operations to improve response to market shifts

Success here means a unified operation, where partners are trusted, costs are reduced, deliveries are on time and customers are happy.

The defining themes for this event:
Combat Continuous Risk:
• Build a strong supply chain capable of weathering disruptions with strong external partnerships and digitally agile internal processes

Optimize Decision-Making:
• Dramatically improve your decision making capabilities across your operations - from source to sale – to improve cost effectiveness and customer satisfaction

Integrate Systems and Partners:
• Improve the efficiency of your supply chain systems and partnerships to improve visibility and data utilization across your network to increase the RoI on investments

Unify an Expansive Network:
• Improve the connectivity and strategic collaboration across your entire supply network to drive increase success in initiatives and responsiveness to supply chain impacts
