10:10 Panel: Collaborating With Maintenance Around Planned Outages: Ensuring You Have The Necessary Inventory And Production Capacity To Endure Downtime

Heath Dhayer, Supply Assurance Leader, NOVA Chemicals
Diana Gilliam, Americas Process Excellence Leader - Logistics, Celanese
William Duty, Director, Supply Chain Center of Excellence, Momentive

How can you best engage with plant maintenance groups around outages? A key aspect of supply chain risk management is ensuring you have the inventory levels – or production capabilities at other locations – to hold you over during an outage, which is especially difficult given the limitations of forecasting. Learn how some of today’s top companies are managing this process and making their supply planner the conduit between maintenance and the business.

15:40 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.
