Supply Chain Planning Forum

Date: 01 October 2008

Time: 09:00 am - 17:00 pm

location: Ardencote Manor Hotel, in Claverdon, Warwick

We are pleased to announce the 6th Supply Chain Planning Forum (formerly known as Supply Chain Modelling Forum) sponsored by Barloworld Optimus, ESRI UK and LCP Consulting.

The Forum scheduled for October 1st is set to provide a platform for supply chain managers and executives in all sectors to pass-on the insights, achievements, lessons and results of their supply chain planning experiences to an audience of like-minded professionals. It is a useful way of opening up valuable two-way dialogue with key movers in supply chain modelling and planning. We believe that what went wrong is often as important as what went right, while sharing your experiences with other supply chain planners holds the prospect of all manner of useful spin-offs.

Companies like Kwik Fit, ThyssenKrupp Aerospace, Unipart Expert Practices, Premier Foods, BELRON, Babcock Networks, KPMG and others will be presenting. You can learn more about the presentations and the speakers here. Please click here to download the agenda.
