Young professionals welcome!
When: 1 March 2010, 18:00 (for 19:00)
Where: Central London
Speaker: Richard van der Meulen, Principal Consultant, TruEconomy Consulting
Richard, who is a regular member of the group, will be talking to the group on Sharing Information Across the Supply Chain. He will be covering:
The impact of the recession on the international supply chain The challenges that raises and what people are doing, and Dealing with the Bullwhip Effect and its consequences
The Supply Chain Network has been running for over five years. It was set up as a networking and learning opportunity for younger people working within the supply chain in retailers, manufacturers and logistics providers - we use the word 'young' loosely, ages ranging from 20s-50s - a beating pulse is the important factor!
The group numbers about 50 people, with 20 typically at any one meeting. We meet about every six weeks or so in a pub in central London. Networking normally starts from 6pm onwards with snacks at 6.30pm and the 'formal' presentation from 7pm, with more networking afterwards. We aim to have a mix of 'experts' and presentations from within the group. The environment is very informal. The objective is discussion rather than a formal presenter at the front, with presenters encouraged to bring issues as well as experience.
We sometimes have spare spaces, so if you're interested in joining us, please contact Kirsten Tisdale - put Supply Chain Network in the comments box.
