Monday, July 11th, 2016


12:00 PANEL DISCUSSION: How to deliver a successful business model to maximise profitability and reduce costs: What should you prioritise?

Panellists from various companies will put forward their thoughts on strategies, different models, different mind sets and different experiences on the same subject. The community forum chair will provide 3 key takeaways or action points at the end of the session for you to take on the challenges addressed.

Moderated by:
Kevin Stout, Exccutive Director, Medical Device Supply Chain Council

Discussion points:
  • Where does the balance sit now between servicing the client and protecting the bottom line? Do we have the balance right?
  • Does supply chain flexibility and agility increase with outsourcing?
  • How can supply chain support implementation and management of outsourced processes?
  • Examining ways to reduce costs without compromising customer service levels
  • Evaluating effective options for outsourcing supply chain operations

    13:40 CASE STUDY REVOLUTION: How to measure customer service levels in line with your strategic supply chain initiatives

    In this innovative and interactive format, spend 20 minutes hearing a best practice case study before engaging in small interactive roundtable discussions to find solutions to some of your most critical challenges.

    Discussion points:

    • How to optimise your service supply chain as well as your costs: why is this often neglected in pursuit of lowering costs and what can supply chain do to drive further improvements?

    • Learning to embrace service as a revenue generator: are we managing the customer experience to the best of our ability?
