Workshop - Supply Chain Management (SCM): Trends, Opportunities & Challenges

Supply Chain Management (SCM) has been critical to ensure that manufacturing companies deliver their products at the right time and location. A supply chain of operations can be divided into three sections: suppliers, internal operations, and distribution section. As expected, managing the whole supply chain of operations of any company is a critical task that consumes a great portion of the firm’s resources, therefore only by understanding the internal and external elements that affects the supply chain can a company compete in today’s market place.

This workshop will focus on the basic concepts of SCM as described earlier. We will begin with a review of SCM definitions and what the new trends and challenges are for today’s firms in regards of the supply chain. After this, attendants will have the opportunity to learn about third party logistic partners, SCM technologies, and global transportation issues related to the supply chain. Also, the participants will know what best practices can be used in order to better manage their supply chain through lean thinking. We have arranged a selection of presenters that combine academic and industry expertise with emphasis on practical applications.
