Post-recession Supply Chain issues
VPs of Supply Chain and Logistics from leading hi-tech & electronics manufacturers and retailers; such as HP, Google, Fujitsu, Sharp, Cisco and Samsung, will come together at the 4th North American Hi-Tech & Electronics Supply Chain Summit in San Jose, November 9-10, for a high-level discussion of their supply chain strategy in the post-recession era. The discussions will cover issues including forecasting and S&OP, reduced freight capacity, supplier risk assessments and sustainability.
The summit comes as many hi-tech supply chains are facing a new breed of challenges, many of which are a direct result of the recession itself, or a result of actions taken to survive the recession. Through case studies, panel discussions and roundtable discussions, the Summit delegation will gain industry best practice and key strategies from industry peers. In addition, the event speakers will be recognized for their excellence in supply chain achievements at the networking reception.
