Supply Chain Planning Symposium
Charting the Future: Aligning Strategies and Execution for Resilience
- 15 June 2024
- Mumbai
Planning and supply chain leaders are acutely aware of the persistent challenges within supply chains. A series of continuing disruptions, the growing complexity of supply networks, and the rapid evolution of technology have intensified the need for a relook at the end-to-end planning processes in organisations. Today, companies need help to align decision-making pace with dynamic shifts in demand and supply. This mismatch exacerbates demand volatility, compromises supply reliability, and underscores the need for enhanced collaboration across the entire value chain.
The forum will see the active participation of 100 plus supply, demand planning and forecasting professionals.
The Forum will end with the Supply Chain Planning Awards
