Announcing MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics Webinar; Advances in Supply Chain Management series, Rethinking Supply Chain Strategy in Complex Markets


October 12, 2012 - In today's complex world supply chain strategy (SCS) has to keep pace with ever-changing markets. This is no easy task. What elements should be considered? How do you identify the strengths and weaknesses of the existing strategy, and fix the flaws while preparing for an unpredictable future? Crucially, how do you implement the new SCS? These questions had no clear answer - until now. Following eight years of collaborative management research with partners as diverse as Fortune 100 companies, the US Government, and the United Nations, MIT's Supply Chain 2020 Project has developed a framework that helps supply chain managers to maintain a competitive SCS.

On November 14, 2012, at 1:00 PM EST the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics will present the first webinar in our Advances in Supply Chain Management series, Rethinking Supply Chain Strategy in Complex Markets. Dr. Roberto Perez-Franco, Director of the SC2020 project, will explain the framework's structured, actionable methodology. You will gain an understanding of the complexities that influence SCS and its key elements. And you will learn how to evaluate and implement an SCS that is aligned with the company's business goals and market outlook.

This event is a fantastic opportunity to gain early access to new research on SCS that is due to be published next year. REGISTER NOW and join us for a unique perspective on this growing challenge.
