From burgeoning technologies to the unknown geo-political risks of global suppliers, the daily decisions of supply-chain executives can have a drastic impact, not merely on an enterprises’ bottom-line, but on their mere survival. In this session we will discuss the role of supply chain executives on enterprise level decision making, and strategies on how to effectuate change both within the supply-chain and enterprise wide: • How to best present and position the supply chain as an impact player on enterprise value • Strategies to best communicate supply chain issues to C-level executives during project planning and implementation • How to best advocate for supply chain investment • How to secure the resources your supply chain team needs to achieve their objectives Get the Most out of your Metrics: Creating Models that Drive Enterprise Efficiency Learn to maximize the impact of your metrics by determining which metrics matter most and discover how the relationship between the metrics is what makes them actionable. Part of optimizing the impact of your analytics, is also, understanding their limitations. In an era of big data, the intel garnered by traditional methods of modeling are frequently outpaced by an onslaught of real-time information. Organizations are going to have to reconsider and potentially re-configure the means by which they measure their performance. Topics to be covered in this session will be : • Key metrics to maximize supply chain performance (including key forecasting metrics) • Improving forecasting accuracy • Addressing over/under forecasting bias • Assessing the obstacles to instituting new means of measurement Sustainable Sourcing: Optimizing Organizational Value Through Sound Sourcing Protocols In an environment where every penny counts and no one can afford a disaster, the principle of sustainable sourcing has moved from the theoretical to a strategic means of mitigating supply chain risk. As global supply chains become the norm, incorporating processes to mitigate their inherent risks is an integral component to an organization’s success. As global risk continues to increase, so does the cost, leaving key decision makers in the unique position of having to carefully evaluate the cost saving of globalization in contrast to the cost stability of localization. However, with rigorous due diligence protocols and sound systemic contingencies, responsible sourcing can still be leveraged to reinforce long-term relationships, and build brand loyalty. In this session we will investigate the turbulent atmosphere of sustainable sourcing and the varying factors considered in creating an optimal sustainable sourcing strategy, such as: • Discuss the intricacies and implications of proper due diligence • Analyzing the bottom line impact of your environmental “footprint” • Determine the optimal approach for analyzing sustainable spend-costs • Maximize customer good-will through transparent sustainable sourcing Networking Break and Refreshments continued » !\"##$%&&'()%'*)++$$,$$---./011#234\"56\"67#895/:53/;<34\"69;.38=$$,$$56;<34\"69;>5?13.38=

Sunday, May 4, 2014 DAY ONE (cont’d)5:30 Relationship Management: The Art of Creating Strategically, Mutually-Beneficial, Supplier RelationshipsIn an environment where the attitude is to “cut costs at all cost”, it can be near impossible to argue for the long-term leveragedrelationship. However, the diminishing returns derived from the strategy of squeezing vendors for savings has given rise to a needfor more mutually-beneficial supplier relationships. Instituting a policy of stakeholder recognition begins at the on-set of relationshipformation.Given that key decision makers are uniquely positioned to effectuate systemic change, this session will discuss strategies to nurturevendor relationships and optimize organizational stability by:• Instituting “best partner” protocols• Creating visible cost estimate mechanisms throughout the negotiation process• Crafting agreements that incentivize all parties6:15 BrainWeave A Business MeetingsMeeting Quality and Regulatory Requirements throughout theValue Chaino Ensuring your organization effectively complies with regulatory 5:15 – 5:45 Business Meeting requirements 5:45 – 6:15 Business Meetingo Mitigating risk to maintain product integrity and quality controlo Leveraging an extensive global network to expedite time to market7:15 Networking Drinks Reception8:00 Networking Dinner Monday, May 5, 2014 DAY TWO7:30 Networking Breakfast8:30 Chairperson’s Opening Address8:45 The Networked Economy: Supply Chain FinanceFaced with increasing pressure to meet short term liquidity needs, companies are looking inward for ways to access cash from operations.Many CFOs and treasurers are examining how their physical supply chain is impacting their companies’ cash flow and working capitalmanagement.
