CEO Series Workshop with Oliver Wight shows SMEs how to manage supply chain performance
Don Harding, Partner at business improvement specialists, Oliver Wight, will present on ‘Managing Supply Chain Performance’ on October 7 2014 at the NUSS Kent Ridge in Singapore, as part of the October CEO Series.
Organised by the Logistics and Supply Chain Management Society, in conjunction with the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, the workshop is designed to help CEOs, executives and senior decision makers of small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) manage their supply chains more efficiently to achieve a balanced business model and maximise profit.
“To effectively manage the supply chain, the right processes have to be in place. Integrated Business Planning (advanced S&OP), a business management process for running the entire organisation, not only provides a 24-36 month rolling horizon, it directly links the corporate strategy and financial plans, and exerts control over the extended supply chain,” explains Don. “This results in improved visibility of demand and capability in supply, as well as better understanding and management of product portfolio.”
“Many SMEs think supply chain optimisation is just for larger organisations, but if businesses want to compete with larger corporations they need to be thinking about their supply chain too. This workshop will look at what effective supply chain management means for smaller companies and how they can effectively monitor performance and achieve excellence,” says Don.
The session is the second programme in a four part series, spanning four months, that covers key topics in effective supply chain management and optimisation; tickets for one session cost S$58, or S$188 for all four.
The session will be repeated on Thursday 16th October at the Hard Rock Cafe in Singapore from 4.30 - 6pm. To find out more, or to register for the event, visit http://logisym.org/2015/the-2014-ceo-series/

About Oliver Wight
Oliver Wight has a 40 year track record of delivering business improvement to some of the world’s best-known organisations. With a team of professionals offering a wealth of experience, Oliver Wight is the largest consultancy of its type, with offices throughout Europe, South Africa, North and South America, and the Asia Pacific region. We believe that sustainable business improvement can’t be delivered by external consultants but only by our clients’ own people, so unlike other consultancy firms, we transfer our knowledge to them, helping deliver performance levels and financial results that last.
Integrated Business Planning
At the leading edge of management thinking and practice, our Integrated Business Planning (IBP) model lies at the heart of our clients’ journey to outstanding business performance. Oliver Wight are the originators of sales and operations planning (S&OP) and IBP can most simply be described as advanced S&OP. However, unlike S&OP, IBP brings a truly strategic perspective, integrating diverse processes - in the extended supply chain, product and customer portfolios, customer demand and strategic planning - into one seamless management process.
Supply Chain Optimisation
In an uncertain business climate, volatile demand and unpredictability can expose weaknesses in supply chain performance. Supply Chain Optimisation helps companies improve sub-standard systems and processes, delivering a significant return to the bottom line.
Meeting the Class A Standard
The Oliver Wight Class A Checklist is the longest standing and most successful business assessment tool. The latest, Sixth Edition, raises the bar, and sets ever more demanding standards for companies on their journey to business excellence and the Oliver Wight Class A standard.
