Chris Russell, vice president at Logility, will discuss how MEIO works in an extended supply chain and the advantages of utilizing inventory optimization in manufacturing, procurement, distribution, and lean manufacturing environments. Chris’ session, “The Journey to the Top of the Multi–Echelon Inventory Optimization (MEIO) Maturity Curve,” is scheduled for Monday, April 8 at 10:30 am.
Jeff Pittman, senior business consultant at Logility, is set to lead a workshop to help attendees understand inventory optimization planning and strategy as it applies to the end–to–end supply chain. Jeff will discuss how MEIO helps businesses gain insight into the uncertainties inherent within demand and supply networks and how the solution can help position inventory in its proper forms and levels within the supply chain to maintain optimal service levels. Additionally, he will explore how inventory optimization helps minimize the impact of uncertainty in supply and demand, allowing better use of assets. This workshop, “Inventory Optimization and Supply Chain” will occur Sunday, April 7 at 1:00 pm.
