Lunchtime Meeting – 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM

The increasing complexity of global supply chains is leading to longer lead times and more pipeline inventory. This is contributing to increased supply chain management costs. Reducing costs by driving down excessive inventory and avoiding or quickly responding to disruptions has become critical for companies in today's economy. Companies can reduce pipeline inventory and landed cost by gaining visibility to their supply chain performance.

 

Multiple Aberdeen studies have indicated the importance of supply chain visibility. In a recent survey of 209 companies with predominantly global supply chains, 57% of respondents indicated that Supply Chain Visibility (SCV) was currently a high priority for improvement, with an additional 28% indicating it was a medium priority. Increasing visibility is a critical strategy for enterprises aimed at reducing costs and improving operational performance across complex and multi-tiered global supply-demand networks.

 

So what are the key drivers for focusing on improving visibility in the context of the complex global logistics and distribution network? Nari will share Aberdeen research results and the strategies companies are implementing to manage global supply chains.

 

Nari Viswanathan is Vice President and Principal Analyst for the Aberdeen Group's Supply Chain Planning Practice. Nari leads the Supply Chain Management practice and counsels enterprises on their supply chain management and planning strategies. A special focus for Nari is Industry Vertical research. Key vertical industries managed within the practice include High-tech sector (Computer Equipment and Peripherals, Semiconductors), Discrete (Automotive, Industrial Equipment, Aerospace and Defense), Process (Chemicals/Pharmaceuticals, Metals, Oil, Gas), and Consumer Product Industries.

 

Nari has published over 25 benchmark reports which have been downloaded by 20,000 supply chain executives and professionals. In addition Nari has published over 100 articles in aberdeen.com covering various facets of supply chain processes and technologies.

 

Prior to joining Aberdeen Group, Nari was a senior product manager at i2 Technologies. Nari's business process and technology expertise includes demand management, manufacturing management, and demand fulfillment.

 

Nari holds a masters degree in manufacturing engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and mechanical engineering degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras.

Next Generation Agility in Logistics and Supply Chains:  Leveraging Social Media and Interactions

Roger Nagel
Senior Fellow & Harvey Wagner Professor, Lehigh University

 

The reduction in communication and transaction costs of the late 90's and early 21st century enabled supply chain outsourcing and collaboration. A current reduction in the cost of interactions has brought about an explosion of social media tools, blogs, wikis, social networks, etc. The integration of these tools with real business objectives is changing the competitive landscape. We now see open innovation becoming the rule versus the exception and the development of communities - some as tightly knit supply chains. P&G (Connect & Develop), Google, Cisco, and many others are applying Next Generation Agility in Logistics and Supply Chains. In reality social computing is evolving into more Agile Business Relationship Computing which we have begun calling A+BRC.

 

This speaker will provide real world examples as well as sharing how business leaders are in fact integrating agile organizational structures into agile communities, and in many cases launching agile ecosystems for innovation and wealth generation. The Apple Ipod/Iphone is just one example of the latter eco-system strategy. 

 

Speaker Bio: 

 

Roger Nagel is a Senior Fellow in the Enterprise Systems Center at Lehigh University. He is also the Harvey Wagner Professor in the Computer Science and Engineering department and the former CEO and Executive Director of the Iacocca Institute. He has been cited by Business Week, Forbes, and Fortune magazine for his visionary efforts as the father of the virtual corporation concept. He is co-author of the widely influential business book, “Agile Competitors and Virtual Organizations: Strategies for Enriching the Customer” and the more recent book “Cooperate to Compete: Building Agile Business Relationships.” Both books are widely acclaimed internationally and are available in more than five languages.

 

Roger is a popular consultant, keynote speaker and guest at executive gatherings and board meetings. His favorite topics are focused on using computers and network technology to create innovative capabilities for organizational effectiveness in both business and government settings. He is routinely asked to describe the future of global competition, and innovation networks.

 

Nagel’s current research centers on the extension of his virtual organization work into collaboration networks and the emergence of innovation networks. His experience in these areas includes extensive work with Chinese business leaders as they seek to be world class competitors and participate in global partnerships. He is an honorary professor at Jiaotong University in Xian and teaches in their executive MBA program. On the domestic side, he has been collaborating with Henry Chesbrough on the development and application of open Innovation network concepts for US companies. In the past year, Roger and his colleagues have launched a research project on the business applications and value generation possibilities of social networks and virtual reality environments.

Lunch Meeting
 

“REACH – Product Regulatory Compliance –

Upcoming Changes that Will Impact Your Exporting”
 
 

The CSCMP luncheon presentation will include a brief overview of Product Regulatory Requirements that affect the exportation of products (referred to as articles), and will focus specifically on REACH. REACH is a new European Union regulation concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of Chemicals. It came into force on 1st June 2007 and replaces a number of European Directives and Regulations with a single system.

 

What’s in your product? When it comes to REACH, that question is more important than ever. REACH targets hazardous substances in products – so called substances of very high concern (SVHC). If your products contain SVHC, then you may have immediate legal obligations to report it. Longer term, the viability of your products may be threatened if they contain SVHC. The SVHC list currently stands at 29 and is expected to double every 6 months and could reach 1000+ SVHC that you are responsible for.

 

 

REACH touches the entire supply chain. Any discrete manufacturer that exports its product is already affected by this regulation and it promises to get more complex as it grows and changes. Because of its complexity, REACH is scheduled to be implemented over an 11 year period. It’s here to stay!

 

The EU is scrambling to be in compliance, but there is little knowledge of REACH outside of the US Tier 1 Corporations. The consensus is that this will become domestic policy fairly soon, so today is the right time to get your arms around this “Medusa” known as REACH.

 

The main benefit of complying with these regulations is the ability to ship your product. Non-conformance implications are simple; No conformance documentation – no ship, no market!

 

Mark Kuhl has 25+ years experience in Medical Device Supply Chain management including stints at St. Jude Medical and Smiths Medical. He graduated from the U of Minnesota with a BS in Business. Mark has a very strong interest in Regulatory Compliance regulations as they apply to all industries.

 

Dick Christensen is a Regulatory Solutions Manager at EAC in Burnsville, MN. He is a UW-Stout graduate with a BS in Industrial Technology,  Dick invested 27 years in print communication sales before switching disciplines, and now focuses on providing Quality Management solutions for the MedTech industry and Product Environmental Compliance for all discrete manufacturers.  EAC is a Platinum Partner with PTC, and specializes in product development, implementation services, training, and provides software solutions for CAD, data management, environmental compliance and product analytics.

 

Help develop your company’s strategy in working towards compliance of REACH regulations. By attending this luncheon you will gain an understanding of these Product Environmental Compliance issues, the benefits of compliance and the dangers of non-compliance. You will also have access to a free analysis of on how REACH may affect your company’s future.

Wilden Pump & Engineering Company Tour
22069 Van Buren

Grand Terrace, CA

 

The Power Behind Your Process

 

Jim Wilden invented the Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pump, based on the need to pump water, slurry and or any finely divided substance such as cement, and create a pump tough enough to handle the job. Wilden Pump and Engineering was born in a walnut grove of San Bernardino County California in 1955 and has grown to be the leading manufacturer of air-operated double-diaphragm pumps used by pharmaceutical makers, chemical manufacturers, and companies in the semiconductor, oil and gas, pulp and paper, and in the sanitary and waste treatment industries. 

 

CSCMP through your Southern California Roundtable has a unique opportunity to tour this company that has become a leader in adopting Lean manufacturing processes and deploying highly sophisticated robotics.

 

We’re not going simply to see how Walden builds pumps but to see how they manage the process.  We will see how they train and develop their associates and how they manage the intelligent side of automation.  Most importantly they will share how their supply chain contributes to the value of their business.

 

If you manage people, operate or supervise a distribution center, arrange for your products to be shipped, play a role in procurement or work anywhere in the supply chain this is an event you don’t want to miss.  Come see how this engineering great has been able to become a Global Leader and beat the competition while manufacturing domestically and providing American jobs.

 

Attention to detail, logistics, and a fierce commitment to LEAN is the Wilder Pump Story.

 


 
Our host will be Mr. Denny Buskirk, Managing Director

Denny L. Buskirk is the Managing Director for Wilden Pump & Engineering, LLC, the world's largest manufacturer of air operated, double diaphragm pumps.
