AFEI and our partners present A Conference
on Supplier Chain Management
About this Conference
During much of the last decade manufacturing and distribution enterprises
have placed a b emphasis on lean practices and just-in-time (JIT)
delivery of materials. This approach has driven inventory costs
down and has taken out a significant amount of the waste in material
and management costs. As supply chains and logistics systems grow
increasingly “lean” they may also become increasingly
unable to react to significant changes in the environment. A lean
supply chain has little inventory or excess capacity and is highly
dependent on JIT delivery of material. A surge in demand, disruptions
in transportation, disruptions in information systems or reductions
in the capacity of any single supplier can quickly bring the whole
system to a stop. Equally, the tight linkage among members of the
supply chain makes it difficult to add new sources or to rapidly
increase production in a crisis. This has long been recognized as
a weakness of lean manufacturing, but the cost-benefits of lean
have proven irresistible to defense manufacturers and to the DOD,
so lean has become the process improvement of choice.
This conference will help the participants understand how to analyze
their supply chains for risk and ensure that they are robust, include
end-to-end visibility and connectivity, remain agile in responding
to rapidly changing needs and circumstances, while staying lean
to reduce cost and inefficiency.
The conference will provide you with practical approaches based
on proven results for achieving measurable improvements in your
supply chain and logistics systems. Come to this conference to learn
how to:
- Implement supply chain and logistics strategies for lowest
overall cost and best performance
- Assess your supply chain or logistics systems for risk
- Develop comprehensive risk management strategies using risk
management tools for operation and decision support
- Improve the agility and robustness of your supply network without
sacrificing lean
- Manage life cycle risks associated with outsourcing, product
design, and obsolescence
- Create a Supplier Relationship Management Strategy that supports
the overall government/corporation strategy
- Understand the people, process and technology issues involved
with supply chain transformation The conference will discuss issues
and attributes of robust supply chains in both military and commercial
environments. Balance between effectiveness, efficiency and customer
satisfaction will be addressed as attributes of lean supply chains.
