PD-16-20 Establishing the Resilient Supply Chain Optimization Process

Description:

Numerous benchmark studies have concluded that supply chain optimization is difficult to achieve without an organized structure, a well-defined decision making process, a set of common goals between various groups, and established work processes for exceptions handling. The dilemma is how to establish such a system that functions irrespective of the changes in the organization structures, reward systems, or political conflicts that arise from the latter. The speaker seeks to reinforce that a culture of “Return on Capital Employed,” with a thorough grounding in financial ‘costs to serve’ model, can make the supply chain optimization stand the test of time and outside pressures.
