Is customer-centricity the future of supply chain, or is it just the next buzzworthy industry term? More importantly, how can you measure its impact? Join this collaborative session to discuss with your peers the key KPIs that drive customer-focused outcomes. Come prepared to discuss which metrics truly reflect customer value and which are just noise. The Supply Chain Logisitics and Planning Board is here to support the timely discussions you need to have.
With ongoing uncertainty and rising prices driving up supply chain costs, how can you effectively take cost out without sacrificing service levels? Supply chain leaders are expected to reduce spending – but what strategies are actually working? In this confidential session, we’ll discuss where leaders are seeing the biggest cost wins, which cost-reduction framework and tools are proving most effective, and how to implement changes that drive real savings. You won’t want to miss this nowhere-else discussion opportunity.
Amidst global unrest, how can a supply chain leader effectively do their job? No one understands these pressures better than your peers in the Supply Chain Logistics and Planning Board. This workshop is an opportunity to candidly discuss how to build flexibility into supply chain operations—from scenario planning and supplier diversification to nearshoring and risk-mitigation strategies. As quickly as the headlines change, you’re always able to be one step ahead by tapping into the brain trust of your fellow supply chain leaders.
Where are the most significant hurdles when it comes to green logistics in your supply chain? This workshop is a benchmarking session for big brands to share their challenges in terms of reducing transportation emissions, reverse logistics, and more. We’ll leverage this confidential space to share resources and approaches that have helped us confront roadblocks in green logistics.
What’s the best supply chain structure for your organization—centralized, decentralized, or hybrid? Each model has tradeoffs in speed, control, cost, and resilience. In this candid, confidential workshop, we’ll discuss how companies are structuring their supply chains and what’s working (or not). We welcome your experiences, shifts in structure, re-orgs, and more. Be ready to talk through which supply chain structure you feel is best positioned for the future.
Supplier data is often incomplete, inconsistent, or unreliable, making it difficult to drive real supply chain visibility and leverage technology. Many organizations struggle to define what data they truly need, how to validate it, and whether automation is helping or creating new challenges. Let’s dig in and chat about how we’re working to get the most out of our supplier data. Come together with other supply chain leaders to discuss how we’re building supplier data processes that increase visibility and efficiency.
