Companies today must build highly integrated supply chains that can quickly support new market opportunities and be synchronised and streamlined to maximise efficiency and effectiveness. The 2008 Supply Chain Council European Conference will offer three tracks of concurrent presentations by companies that have unlocked supply chain value:

• Embracing Risk & Taking it to the Bottom Line: Identifying, measuring, managing and mitigating supply chain risk
• Performance Management in a Turbulent World: Understanding performance and benchmarking against the competition
• Globalization Demands Process Excellence: A look at macro-factors impacting the decision to globalize in different industries and different situations.

A key tool common to many of these companies is the SCOR® process reference model. Hundreds of organisations are using the SCOR methodology, diagnostic and benchmarking tool to unlock supply chain value. Case studies will be presented by companies that have successfully used SCOR to enhance their supply chain. Learn and exchange with practitioners who face the same challenges as you…plan to actively take part in a conference organised by European supply chain professionals for European supply chain professionals!

Attendees include forward–looking business leaders and managers, such as C–level executives, presidents, vice presidents, and supply chain specialists, as well as representatives from academia, analyst organizations, and government.

The Supply Chain Council European Conference is sponsored by Supply Chain Council, an independent member-supported consortium dedicated to improving supply chain management practices within and between interested parties across the extended supply chain.
