Responding To A Changing Global Environment: How To Take Cost Out Of Your Chemical Supply Chain Whilst Securing The Capacity You Need
LogiChem is now in its 7th year and is Europe’s largest Chemical Supply Chain meeting. The conference addresses every critical concern to chemical supply chain professionals, from the current shortage of transport and storage capacity to topics including demand planning, collaboration and growing markets such as Russia, through case studies by the industry's leading and most innovative shippers.

NEW: Discounted Prices For LSPs - Save £400/€600
Our delegates have told us that they want to see more LSPs (logistics services providers) at this year’s event, given the current constraints around transport and storage capacity and the need for both sides to work closer together.
So to make it even easier for transport and logistics companies to attend, we’ve reduced the price for LSPs so that it matches the price for chemical manufacturers – an immediate saving of £400/€600!
Participate In New Industry Benchmarking Initiative FOR FREE!
Following some initial work undertaken in 2006, LogiChem was given a mandate by delegates at its 2007 event to establish a new supply chain benchmarking framework for the chemical industry.
The LogiChem Advisory Board and WBR recently ran a workshop with twelve additional chemical supply chain practitioners to agree and finalise a set of common performance measurement indicators and clearly defined chemical industry segments. In the run-up to LogiChem 2008, we are inviting chemical companies to submit data on this new set of just 8 key performance measurements via a dedicated website, and analysis and feedback will be presented at the event next April.
This ground-breaking new framework will allow you to get a quick snapshot of how your supply chain is performing without using the time, resource and financial investment necessary with other initiatives. To participate or for more information, visit www.scmstudies.com/logichem08.
Topics Covered In The Agenda Include
- How to manage your Board’s cost-cutting expectations and assesses whether cost-reductions are still realistic
- How to develop a rapid and reliable logistics service to Russia amidst the lack of coverage by international LSPs
- How to develop a ‘green and sustainable’ supply chain without adding cost
- How to drive collaboration with your LSPs, sharing information more extensively in order to secure more capacity
- How to develop and implement a best-in-class S&OP process in practice, and how to sell it successfully within your organisation
- Whether standardisation or service differentiation is the answer to a rising cost environment
- How to map out your logistics costs by individual product and customer if you consolidate your LSPs on a European basis
