Attend Supply-Chain Council's Supply Chain World North America 2009

Leading organizations recognize that supply chains are critical to growth and profitability, especially in a world in which supply chains have become increasingly global, complex, time-sensitive, and laden with uncertainty and risk, especially financial and liquidity issues. In other words, smart enterprises understand that superior supply chain management can make them, and ineffective supply chain management can break them.

In most companies, there's room for improvement when it comes to supply chain operations. The keys are to define which processes need to be improved, align those improvements to strategic goals, and excel at execution.

The event brings together the people who deliver and create value in the supply chain — especially those accountable for supply chain results — to learn the latest trends and research, network, and discover critical strategies for supply–chain management through four concurrent tracks:

• Globalization and Standardization
• Sustainability and the Green Supply Chain
• Convergence to Achieve Enterprise Wide Results
• The People Side of Supply Chains
• Excelling in Latin Markets
• Supply Chain in Texas Industry

In lively sessions, experts from leading companies will explore how they have reduced supply-chain costs by tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, substantially accelerated cycle times, and dramatically increased market share by boosting customer satisfaction — especially through implementations of the Supply–Chain Operations Reference model (SCOR®).

Attendees include forward–looking business leaders and managers, such as C–level executives, presidents, vice presidents, and supply chain specialists, as well as representatives from academia, analyst organizations, and government.

Supply–Chain World North America is sponsored by the Supply–Chain Council, an independent member–supported consortium dedicated to improving supply chain management practices within and between interested parties across the extended supply chain.
