LogiChem 2013 saw the event grow to include C-Level and commercial keynotes, with a larger number of senior executives present onsite.
For 2014, first and foremost we are changing location...we are in the process of securing a larger hotel and looking into the best possible location that works for you.
And as we start researching with the industry for the 2014 programme, a few themes have already emerged:
- Back to basics; focus on the top differentiators
- Reduction in process, product and organizational complexity
- Growth from organisational strength and efficiency
- Taking B2B to B2C level of customer interaction
- People management - retention, exploring growth potential for supply chain careers, and how to make supply chain a competitive advantage for a company
- Optimising supply chain processes – supply chain process automation case studies
- Flexibility: The real time supply chain and how to prepare / integrate new technologies (in memory computing etc)
- Creating organisational supply chain collaboration – integration
- Different demand capturing tools / systems available – case studies
- Advanced customer segmentation
- Fixed / variable cost reduction
- Synchronizing your supply chain to create predictability and transparency
- Collaboration along supply / value chains by applying state-of-the-art technologies, globalisation and connecting regions by managing inter-regional product flows of (reliability, risks etc)
- Can the chemical industry establish a green logistic label, helping to differentiate, enabling some cost recovery?
- Advanced S&OP and extended S&OP (with more financial aspects) that contributes to the success of the business. How are companies moving from S&OP to IBP – specific case examples and best practice of how companies are managing demand in volatile times
- Models to calculate the impact of business decision in Supply Chain (higher stock vs longer production)
- Sustainable supply chains
- Risk management in relation to continued volatility, how to manage risk across supply chains?
- How do companies communicate / share their disaster recovery or business continuity plans with their customers and suppliers?
- More commercial and C-suite sessions, roundtables, case studies, and interactive networking formats
