What Keeps Your CEO Up at Night?  Supply Chain Risk: Identification and Mitigation

Top Management Night - Bring your manager for free.  Includes both Members and Non-Members.  Must register on-line.  Walk-ins will not be allowed.

Increasing complexity and globalization has increased the risk in the supply chain. Issues from recalls through delays at ports cause great disruptions in the supply chain of many companies. Brian Gray, Senior Vice President at Intertek will be our speaker at our February 18th PDM. He will discuss how to identify supply chain risk from product development through delivery to the customer. In addition, we will be hearing about best practices utilized by global companies to reduce the risk that they encounter. No supply chain is without risk. Join us in finding ways to prevent disruption in your supply chain.
