Supply Chain Management Focus - Information Technology and the Virtual Supply ChainAn Executive Overview: Many manufacturing companies responding to the rapidly changing business environment are discovering that their business systems no longer meet their needs. The rise of the networked or virtual manufacturing company is redefining the business relationship among trading partners.

Who should attend:Business Owners, CEOs, Presidents, CFOs, CIOs, CTOs, Operations and Supply Chain professionals, Lean champions, and Materials Management professionals - people with an interest in learning how to leverage Information Technology in developing and maximizing the flow of information across their company's Supply Chain. This compelling presentation gives executives and practitioners insights into this subject matter and provides ideas to consider in the years ahead.
