11:20 Panel Session: Segmentation And Service Strategies: How To Serve Unique Customer Segments Differently
Emmett Harrigan, Director, Supply Chain, SABIC Innovative Products
Gustavo Araujo, Vice President, Global Supply Chain and Purchasing, Elementis Specialties
Debra van Holst, Global Business Director, Polyethylene, NOVA Chemicals Inc.
Not every customer is the same and chemical manufacturers should have service models that reflect as much. But how do you make a differentiated model - delivering multiple levels of service - work, given that these models complicate order to cash and supply chain processes? Companies are striving to provide higher service levels to more attractive customers that drive a disproportionate percentage of profits, while still serving customers that are less valuable through more cost effective supply chain approaches. This panel discussion addresses how you can:

Companies are striving to provide higher service levels to more attractive customers that drive a disproportionate percentage of profits, while still serving customers that are less valuable through more cost effective supply chain approaches. This panel discussion addresses how you can:
- Ensure segmentation guides business rules: Minimum order quantities, technical service levels
- Learn what your customers value more than price: Quality levels, delivery schedules
- Tie it together as a global package: Coordinating supply chain support in different markets
13:45 Panel Session: Developing Your Supply Chain Talent Pipeline From A To AAA
Debbie Keehn, Director, Global Supply Chain, Celanese
Emmett Harrigan, Director, Supply Chain, SABIC Innovative Products
Elliott M. Wolf, Lead, Production & Supply Risk Management - North America, Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC
Siva Narayanan, Director, International Operations & Warehousing, Solvay
Supply chain talent is in high demand. As chemical manufacturers watch Baby Boomer employees with decades of experience walk out the door, there’s not a ready supply of mid-career talent to replace them. At the entry level, recent college graduates are highly sought after and often gravitate toward supply chain roles in other industries that are perceived as more exciting. There is also the issue of chemical manufacturers expanding into geographies where there is no local talent base to draw upon. What should be the industry approach in addressing these
shortages? This panel will also address:
• Identifying necessary supply chain roles & responsibilities
• Identifying the competencies, leadership behaviors, skills, experiences, education and performance requirements for supply chain roles and assessing current talent against them
• Identifying and committing to actionable plans for development and career planning, including the rollout of individual development plans
• Supporting and sustaining your talent development process through leadership education, coaching, meaningful conversations and recognition
