Aitken believes: "If your supply chain next year, looks like your supply chain of last year ... you're history!" To ensure no supply chain gets left behind, this year's top-level expert speakers will cover an extensive range of topics, specifically tailored to the needs of hi-tech and electronics shippers.
Key topics include:
- Reinvigorating your supply chain management
- Streamlining your aftermarket supply chain
- Best practices for outsourcing, low-cost country sourcing and near-shoring
- Operating efficiently on a global scale
- Managing your 3PL relationships
- How the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) affects the Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive, and its impact on your supply chain
- Benefiting from greening your supply chain - bottom line results
- Selecting technology - what products create real results
