CSCMP to Release Latest Research at European Conference

Lombard, Illinois USA (May 5, 2009)—The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) will release its latest research report entitled Global Perspectives Scandinavia in conjunction with the CSCMP Europe 2009 conference. The event will be held 13-15 May at the Copenhagen Business School in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The 40-page report focuses on the Scandinavian Peninsula—the countries of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, with particular emphasis on the Nordics and Baltic Sea region. The re-search takes an in-depth look at the supply chain challenges and complexities in that part of the world.
Global Perspectives Scandinavia will provide details about the region’s logistics infrastructure and capabilities, and its increasing importance as a central distribution point in the Nordic Region, Northern Europe, Russia, and the countries along the Baltic Sea. The report will also present case studies featuring supply chain solutions that have been successfully implemented in the region by major global companies such as Sony and Volvo Logistics.

CSCMP Europe 2009 will focus on overcoming supply chain barriers. Conference sessions will include presentations by AP Moeller – Maersk, Grohe AG, CEVA Logistics, LEGO, Siemens AG, FloraHolland, IWL AG–The Supply Chain Group, Alfa Laval AB, Carlsberg Breweries, and other leading companies.
