And this year's congress will be even bigger!
SCMLogistics World is the ultimate knowledge and networking platform for Asian and global logistics & supply chain practitioners from the manufacturing industry. By 2008, it would have gathered more than 2000 logisticians across various manufacturing industries across the Asia Pacific.
For 2008, the theme of the conference is "Perfect Fit", in response to the needs of manufacturers based in the Asia Pacific to customise their supply chain strategies and approach to an incredibly diverse marketplace. At SCMLogistics World 2008, you will get to hear from the leaders of lean and agile supply chain organisations on how they've conquered market challenges and achieved amazing results.

6 industry-driven tracks:
|
Auto
|
Product innovation is underfoot in the automotive industry as consumer movements supporting "greener" cars are compelling auto manufacturers to produce environmentally-friendlier cars. This has a massive impact on auto supply chains as they have to overhaul and retool their supply chains with new products and components while at the same time, achieve greater levels of customer responsiveness and supply chain flexibility. Learn from auto SCM professionals how retooling their supply chains to produce "greener" cars have been going. |
|
Chemical
|
Chemical supply chains are fraught with sensitivities in transport logistics and material handling due to the unique nature of the goods involved. This session will provide an in-depth perspective how chemical supply chains can be handled efficiently, maintaining quality without sacrificing lead times. |
|
Fast fashion supply chains
|
The phrase "fashionably late" is taboo for the SCM professionals who manage fast fashion supply chains who churn out new designs and products on a weekly basis from factory to the store. Today's latest fashion trend can be tomorrow's fashion faux pas, thus fast fashion chains are one of the manufacturing industry's most agile and responsive. |
|
FMCG & F&B
|
Fast moving consumer goods and food & beverage products enjoy broader consumer markets compared to most manufacturing industries. The competition is more cutthroat as they seek to undo their competitors in pricing, time to market and product innovation. Supply chain efficiencies have long been demanded for in order to continue dramatic cost reduction in order to maximise profit margins. In this session, hear from FMCG & F&B SCM leaders how they manage to go the extra mile in supply chain innovation. |
|
High-tech
|
Managing high-tech supply chains are very complex due to the scale of parts and components involved in the manufacturing process. In this session, learn how this supply chain complexity is navigated by SCM professionals in order to achieve good lead times in market. |
|
Retail
|
The retail industry has one of the more aggressively designed supply chains due to the presence of many like-minded competitors. In order to succeed, retail supply chains are cutthroat with maintaining in-stock inventory and diverse pricing strategies in order to attain as much customers and potentially their repeat business too. What matters the most when retail supply chains strive for differentiation is who's got the fastest, leanest and most responsive supply chain and in this session, we hear trade secrets from the SCM professionals who have mastered their strategies.
|
6 functional tracks:
|
Sourcing & procurement
|
Strategic procurement and low cost sourcing are competitive advantages that Asia-based manufacturing operations capitalise upon in order to achieve cost benefits in their supply chains. In this session, learn from their best practices so you can apply the same strategies in your own supply chain organisations as well.
|
|
Multimodal transport network planning
|
Managing your partnerships with 3PLs can deliver a lot of benefits and cost synergies depending on the mix of your modes of transport as well as the unique needs of certain products for transport. In this session, discover how supply chains have successfully collaborated with their 3PL partners in ensuring the design and implementation of multimodal transport and distribution networks.
|
|

Supply chain finance strategies that have maximised cost efficiencies end-to-end will be able to deliver organisation wide benefits. |
|
Technology & enablement
