13:45 Panel Session: Measuring Supply Chain Performance: What Constitutes The Perfect Order And How Do We Get There On A Consistent Basis?

Adam Bevier, Global Supply Chain Director, Sherwin Williams
Billy Duty, Director, Supply Chain Center of Excellence, Momentive Specialty Chemicals

It takes a lot of work to keep your customers happy and complaint free. You have to deliver the right product to the right place, on time, in the right condition, package and quantity (with proper
documentation and invoice). Of course, there are tangible benefits when you have a high perfect order rate – being able to carry less inventory, shorter cash-to-cash cycle times and fewer stock-outs. On the flip side mistakes can be costly: increased shipping costs, the need for replacement products and lower revenues due to lost sales & customers. This panel will share the perspective of three supply chain leaders who are driving their organizations to achieve
perfection.

16:40 Roundtables

Talking with your peers about how to confront shared business challenges is the most valuable piece of this event. LogiChem 2014 has set aside three hours across two days so supply chain, procurement, operations, logistics and transportation management leaders can share best practices that will help their organizations
reduce risk, cost and deliver more to the bottom line. Each attendee is able to select two roundtables that they would like to attend over the course of an hour. Table facilitators introduce the topic at hand and encourage participants to share their ideas; full notes are delivered to participants post-event so that there’s
a tangible takeaway and key points are not forgotten.
