Business conference on supply chain management
Conference about the position and role of Supply chain management, the key driver of company efficiency, SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT ARENA will take place on February 1st, 2012, at the Regent Esplanade hotel in Zagreb.
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT ARENA 2012 has emerged as the first regional conference for top Supply Chain's executives and other executive managers who understand the critical influence of supply chain management to their business.
We want to share best practices, strategic processes, and business improvements as well as to explore the ideas, innovative products and services on the market. The SCM ARENA features a unique combination of panels that dive-deep into the supply chain strategies and initiatives, coupled with sessions to translate these initiatives into executable tactics. Supply chain strategy and execution have an increasingly critical influence on strategic business outcomes, pushing supply chain executives into the spotlight more today than ever.
Comprehensive changes that are occurring over the past few decades have significantly increased the complexity of the business. Every company is now in close interaction with a lot of suppliers and customers rather than only ten years ago, and the interactions between them are stronger than before, that have significant and far-reaching consequences. Global Commerce Initiative (GCI), in his report, "Succeeding in a Volatile Market - 2018: The Future Value Chain," identifies eight trends that will shape the chain of value creation in the future. Since the eight trends for six of them can even be said that the supply chain management mechanism will participate in a future successful adjustment of company from these trends: price and availability of raw materials, operating in accordance with the principles of sustainable development, consumer technology, a new way of communication and consumer companies that serve them, the business models and routes-to-market, information from the supply chain which is available for collaboration among companies, and the safety aspect of the product.
Speakers will explain: How to effectively respond to the changes that have significantly increased the complexity of operations and require new approaches in the process of forming a chain value creation? How to create greater value for customers? How to transform the traditional competitive relationships of participants in the distribution channels into partnerships with customers, suppliers and other participants in the distribution channels?
