Supply Chain Innovation Forum
The Supply Chain Innovation Forum is the webinar series designed to help you address specific issues within your supply chain. At a time of economic instability, companies with the least disruption and greatest flexibility in their supply chain are going to emerge the strongest. Each session incorporates case studies from companies with chalk-face experience of delivering leaner and more efficient supply chains, with a view to delivering a significant competitive advantage.
1. Applying Lean Strategies to your Supply Chain
Date: 17 Jun 2010
Time: 4pm UK GMT Summertime, 5pm Europe Summer Time, 11am Eastern Daylight Time, 8am Pacific Daylight Time
In this session we consider the implications of integrating lean principles across the enterprise, the importance of a long term lean strategy and look at specific examples of lean integration.
2. Minimizing Risk in Your Supply Chain
Date: 16 Sep 2010
Time: TBC
Pressure to increase efficiency in recent years has seen an increase in risk across the supply chain. Product lifecycles are shorter, supply chains are larger with increased globalisation, and customer expectations are more demanding. This situation has been enhanced by economic uncertainty creating demand variability and stock anomalies. Coupled with the impact of growing regulatory obligations, managing supply chain risk is an ever increasing burden.
In this webinar we look at how to understand the nature of supply chain risk, but most importantly how to balance the drive for supply chain efficiency whilst minimizing the exposure to disruption.
3. Using RFID to Achieve Supply Chain Efficiency
Date: 14 Oct 2010
Time: TBC
There are many applications to which RFID technology can be applied, but it is in the supply chain that RFID is delivering the greatest benefits:
- improved end-to-end visibility of supply chain
- higher integrity data meaning a reduction in shipping errors
- improved security for high-value items and reduced shrinkage
- enhanced demand visibility
- greater speed through increased automation
This webinar addresses specifically how RFID drives tangible ROI in the supply chain and looks at the implications of incorporating an RFID solution into your systems.
4. Reaping the Benefits of a Sustainable Supply Chain
Date: 28 Oct 2010
Time: TBC
Learn why sustainability is the key to long term profitability and how to realize this in your supply chain.
This webinar demonstrates how the implementation of a leaner, sustainable supply chain, can improve efficiency and directly cut costs. Learn from experts with chalk-face experience who have delivered real ROI in developing long term, carbon efficient supply chain solutions.
5. Managing your Supply Chain in an Unpredictable World
Date: 28 Nov 2010
Time: TBC
The last 18 months has seen significant turbulence in the supply chain, with unpredictable demand, fluctuation in transport costs, and financial uncertainty. As the World now emerges from recession, it has become clear that the supply chain landscape has evolved - the modern supply chain must be flexible and adaptive to a shifting World.
In this webinar we look at what has been learnt through the downturn, and how these lessons can be adapted to deal with future supply chain disruption.
