PRESENTATION: Tackling the “Amazon effect” – an offense strategy

Amazon is the elephant in the room. Not just for retailers - for everyone. Amazon is disrupting the operating norms for manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers/distributors and third-party logistics service providers (3PLs). Customer service expectations, and every supply chain activity supporting them, will never be the same.

Winning against - and with - Amazon takes intelligence and insight. Find out how to use both - not just to mitigate the impact of Amazon on your business, but to create offensive strategies. Strategies that are differentiated. Strategies that can be used even in the non-profit environment that drive success required by stakeholders.

WORKSHOP: Smartly Managing Transportation Capacity/Cost Increases

Every company is feeling significant financial pressure regarding the impact of the current transportation capacity and cost issues driven by rapidly changing customer expectations. Expectations that are being set by Amazon and other E-Commerce companies. Stronger working relationships between shippers and carriers is key but more can be done. Standard transportation planning and execution decisions focus on minimizing costs while meeting customer service and regulatory requirements. But are all customers and their delivery locations equal to your bottom line? Are some delivery locations significantly more important as it relates to the continued generation of healthy operating profits while others are marginal or worse?

This interactive Workshop will focus on key considerations to proactively manage through these transportation issues. These considerations are based on segmentation strategies that are tied to the actual profit performance of every delivery location in addition to the measure of service and productivity performances. The result is transportation planning and execution decisions that do not treat all delivery locations the same. Instead, service levels are defined and managed to selectively absorb higher transportation costs across all customer delivery locations.

Track 4: Protecting Profits Through Supply Chain Risk Mitigation

From the port explosion in China to the Hanjin bankruptcy to Indian factory collapses, we've all seen the devastating impact that supply chain disruption can inflict on organizations. While firms traditionally centered their supply chain risk mitigation priorities on areas of high risk probability, this approach doesn't minimize the financial losses associated with supply chain disruptions. The good news is that you can have end-to-end supply chain visibility that focuses on the profit contribution impact of every supply chain asset. In this presentation, you'll learn about financial performance visibility and how to prioritize supply chain risk mitigation activities based on potential financial impact.

PRESENTATION: The plug-and-play supply chain: beyond efficiency to growth

Years of growth, merger and acquisition activity, changing customer markets and globalization have taken their toll on supply chains, creating highly complex, extended supply chains. However, companies are realizing that operating with this complex web of one-off supply chains is unsustainable - high cost, full of waste, cumbersome and risky.

Enter the plug-and-play supply chain – a new business model driven by big data, powerful analytics, smart segmentation and operational standardization. The session will define the plug-and-play concept, explain how it works, and show how it goes way beyond just cutting supply chain costs – to drive sustainable growth.

Workshop Three: Driving Profitable Growth Through Effective Segmentation Strategies

Companies are realizing that relying on a “One Size Fits All” supply chain strategy by operating channel (e.g. E-Commerce) simply does not work in today’s rapidly changing business environment. However, tailoring supply chain strategies using traditional grouping or segmentation criteria (revenue contributions, order quantities over time, etc.) are ineffective in addressing this problem. What is needed is accurate, precise and specific insights regarding profit contributions by customer, product and channel. Having this information can be the basis for developing “disruptive” supply chain strategies that can provide significant competitive advantage and dramatic financial performance improvements.

In this workshop we will:

  • Discuss the fundamentals required to gain specific and accurate profit performance information
  • Define how using these types of insights can be used to develop disruptive operating strategies
  • Review the importance of having this information on a recurring basis versus treating the need as a "special project"
