08:50 Keynote: Integrated Business Planning Optimization In Support Of Vertically Integrated Chemical Companies

Jack Weiss, CEO, WAM Supply Chain

Large chemical companies often operate vertically integrated complexes in which key building block chemicals are produced to be sold in the marketplace or further processed internally downstream. These downstream operations are often independent business units with their own profit and loss objectives effectively competing for shared upstream feedstock. A case study will be presented in which an integrated business planning optimization model was implemented at a site producing ethylene and a variety of ethylene derivatives. The solution maximizes total profitability across all business units and facilitates essential negotiations and collaboration between these entities.

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.
