Now in its sixth year and going strong, the 2008 Global Supply Chain Conference (GSCC), presented by Logistics Management and Supply Chain Management Review magazines, digs deep into the key issues affecting today's supply chain professionals.
Conference attendees have front-row seats for a series of educational webcasts that addresses various facets of the global supply chain. Thought leaders and leading practitioners explore the full spectrum of supply chain management—from setting and executing global supply chain strategies to excelling at logistics management.
Sponsored by Motorola, the conference kicks off with a keynote speech from Narendra Mulani, writer of the Logistics Management column Mulani on Excellence. In his keynote, Mulani discusses the concept of near-shoring, or bringing manufacturing and sourcing operations closer to customers in an effort to drive down costs and shorten lead times.
Other hot topics covered throughout the conference include cross-docking, wireless technology, the “green” supply chain, the cultivation of supply chain talent, transportation spend management, and strategies for improving the shipper-3PL relationship.
