Why shouldn't you miss this?
Almost all organisations experience challenges in these turbulent times and will face even more challenges in the future. Supply Chain Challenges 2.0 equips you with the right knowledge to be better prepared for the future.
For almost all companies, it is difficult to manage performance due to, for example, resource scarcity, material shortages, sales and operational planning and labour shortages. Companies struggle to find the right system to optimise their logistics planning. This event will equip you with the right insights, knowledge and competences to tackle these challenges in your future career.
The aim, of course, is to develop the right knowledge and for companies to increase the level of resilience and agility to anticipate these 'unexpected' developments and demands. We have a great programme with experts from education and practice. You will go home with practical tips and tools for existing and future challenges. Take the opportunity to meet companies and experienced researchers and professors and exchange knowledge.
- Discover practical steps to measure and improve the resilience of supply chains.
- Data tooling for tactical planning using PowerBI and AI.
- Get inspired by a real-life case study from Herbalife.
The event will be held in English to welcome an international audience.
