Industry Keynote: From Famine To Feast: Is Your Supply Chain Ready for The Economic Recovery?
Noha Tohamy, Vice President, Supply Chain Research, AMR Research
Thursday, Sept. 24, 10:00 a.m. – 10:45 a.m.


The hopefuls among us eagerly celebrate the smallest signs of fast approaching economic recovery. But supply chain executives must ask themselves: is my supply chain ready for economic recovery? For increased customer demand, higher commodity prices and constrained supply? After months of cutting down costs and facing a dwindling customer demand, how will my supply chain cope with the strong demand and ensuing competition? What investments in supply chain organization, process, strategy and technology can I make today to give my company competitive advantage? This talk will outline the requirements and best practices that leaders are employing to optimize their supply chains today, in anticipation of near term economic recovery.
