MANAGING AN ADAPTABLE SUPPLY CHAIN
Today, the manufacture of a single finished product may involve production
in a dozen countries around the world. Innovation may need to be managed
across a number of time zones, and customers could come from absolutely
anywhere.
Not long ago, the logistics of such a supply chain would have been impossible.
Today, it’s simply a reality of our hyper-competitive global economy.
And with the pace of change unlikely to slow, the key to success lies in
locating manufacturing functions in the most suitable places, and then making
production as efficient and as cost-effective as possible.
To facilitate the process, CIBER has developed a version of SAP All-in-One
that specifically templated for the requirements of the mid-size discrete
manufacturer. Whether your manufacture takes place in the developed or developing
world, this proven solution can help you integrate and control production,
while supporting the most ambitious global roll-out strategy.
Agenda
Introduction
Simon Pollard, Discrete Manufacturing Industrial Principal, EMEA NEWS, SAP
AG.
Mid-size discrete manufacturing firms and the challenges for growth
James Watson, The Economist Information Unit.
James Watson of the Economist Intelligence Unit provides an independent
analysis of the growth challenges facing mid-size manufacturers, based on
the results of a global survey carried out on discrete manufacturing companies.
Issues addressed include mid-size manufacturers’ strategic priorities
(eg. The drive for cost efficiency, cross-border expansion, organic v inorganic
growth), the evolution of their relationships with customers and suppliers,
strategies for competing with larger rivals, and how they plan to use IT.
Leading the way to an Adaptable Supply Chain
Tim Mayes, SAP Solutions Manager, CIBER UK
Tim shows how SAP All-in-One has helped leading mid-size UK manufactures
to create continuously adaptive manufacturing processes. He focuses on how
manufacturers have improved visibility and collaboration, and how they are
maintaining stringent product requirements with ‘zero defect’
production capabilities.
