The Presentation – “Riding out the Storm”

With the global financial crisis now upon us, many businesses will face significant challenges to merely maintain their market positions.  At times like this 'knee jerk' reactions often emerge, that not only make the current situation worse, but damage the company’s future prosperity.
Taking a 'glass half full' approach, this afternoon seminar will lead attendees through a simple 5 point plan that will provide a solid foundation for any Supply Chain to ride out the current situation.
Based on hundreds of case studies and experience across many industries and countries, the ‘Logistics Bureau Asia’ 5 point plan will cover: 

1.    Situation Analysis.  How to rapidly gain a clear picture of the existing Supply Chain and its primary cost and service drivers.
2.    Opportunity Review.   Through simple benchmarking techniques, how to quickly establish the greatest areas of opportunity and risk.
3.    Cost Reduction Strategies.  Suggested techniques and key areas to target for easy cost reduction, without sub optimisation risk.
4.    Boosting Sales.  How to leverage Supply Chain capability to actually improve sales and the bottom line.
5.    Tracking Performance.  How to better track your Supply Chain performance to guide ongoing improvement.
