“SUPPLY CHAIN: THE NEW REVENUE GENERATOR”
Featured Speaker: David Jacoby, Author of Guide to Supply Chain Management: How Getting It Right Boosts Corporate Performance
Traditionally, companies have looked at the supply chain primarily as a source of cost-cutting and containment. But in the very best companies that’s all changing, says our keynote speaker David Jacoby, a successful business author and president of Boston Strategies International.
Drawing on insights from his new book, Jacoby will tell how supply chains—and supply chain professionals—can make a dramatic and immediate impact on their company’s business performance. And he’ll tell why the time to start making that impact is now. |

14TH ANNUAL 3PL STUDY: WHERE DO 3PLS FIT IN YOUR NEW STRATEGY?
Professor John Langley and his thought-leading research team will share the findings of one of the most comprehensive studies conducted on 3PL utilization around the world. Based on surveys, workshops, and focus interviews with shippers using 3PL services, this data-rich session is designed to help attendees better understand how their peers are putting 3PL services to work in major global geographies. But more importantly, it will focus on how 3PLs are applying information technology to help shippers better manage market volatility as more companies readjust their global outsourcing strategies.

TECHNOLOGY’S ROLE IN THE GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN OF THE FUTURE
The recession may have forced “green” issues to the back burner of supply chain priorities for a while. But now that the economy is starting to turn and the recovery is under way, it won’t be long until the pressure to “go green” ratchets up again. Will you be ready? In this timely webcast, our experts will examine the mandates for the green supply chain of the future. They will describe the technologies available to green your supply chain including transportation management systems (TMS), global visibility systems, and other applications. You’ll also hear about new regulations, both in North America and worldwide, which will help or hinder you in your sustainability quest. |

TRANSPORTATION’S MANAGEMENT’S ROLE IN THE NEW SUPPLY CHAIN
For years many logistics and supply chain professionals excelled at managing the core components of transportation, like routing trucks or sourcing air contracts. However, few shippers have truly understood the direct and indirect impact transportation management has on other parts of a business. Today, the game has changed. It’s now imperative that logistics professionals gain a comprehensive understanding of how transportation management impacts all areas of a business—business strategy, finance, sales and service—in order to develop a supply chain that drives value to the bottom line. In this session, our panel will help shippers understand the new rules of the supply chain game. |
