Supply Chain Paradigm Shift—The Face of Today's Supply Chain and a Next-Generation Solution

In the current business environment we face an unprecedented level of demand and supply uncertainty that is driven by factors including:

• Changes in buying patterns
• Accelerating rate of new product introductions rates
• Increased competition
• A global dynamic supply network
• Challenging economic conditions

What is the new supply chain agenda to manage these uncertainties? In order for companies to survive and flourish in this environment, the fundamental thinking surrounding supply chain management concepts must change. This session will introduce a new approach–enabling rapid response to change, in particular:

• How supply chain response management can be applied across the business
• The required capabilities, that when put together, enable a strategic response management competency.
• The differentiators between response management approaches and systems

Strong evidence exists that companies that have addressed these issues and matured in their process execution are significantly outperforming others in their industry.
