| 9:00-9:10am | Welcome Address | |
| 9:15-10:00 | Leverage Your Supply Chain to Deliver Superior Financial Results Operational experts often extol the contributions of a high-performing supply chain to achieving superior financial results. Too often they fail to explain how such a supply chain is designed, implemented, managed and measured within existing resource constraints. Supply Chain Council Chapter Director, Alyda le Hane, will clearly articulate the “knobs and levers” that connect superior supply chain performance to the bottom line. In recent years Supply Chain Council has initiated a number of research projects that examine and articulate the relationship between supply chain performance and overall enterprise performance. Key areas of focus include.

| 10:05-11:05 | Meeting the Defense Needs of the Future with a Reliable Supply Chain This session will explore how Babcock's Marine Division, a supplier of support services to the U.K. Ministry of Defense, utilized the SCOR model to uncover future supply chain capability gaps. The diagnostic team's goal was to close the identified gaps before the capability was required. By proactively delivering highly reliable service, Babcock has improved the availability of submarines and warships despite tighter budgets. This presentation will walk the attendee through the process of applying the SCOR model for this purpose and review the detailed benefits and lessons learned. |
