BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - Mar 13, 2013) - Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company (
Now in its seventh year, the Aberdeen Supply Chain Management Summit continues to be recognized as the premier forum for leading supply chain executives to share insights on best practices, strategic process development and business improvements, as well as serving as a vehicle for attendees to learn about the most innovative products, solutions and services within the supply chain industry category. The event features a unique combination of keynote addresses examining strategic topics impacting global supply chain, and breakout sessions presenting tactics to address these issues at all stages of the supply chain.
"As the global economy continues to recover from the worldwide recession, most manufacturing and supply chain organizations are seeing a gradual rebound in shipping volumes," according to Bryan Ball, Vice President and Principal Analyst for the Aberdeen Supply Chain Management research practice. "Along with being prepared to address growing demand, supply chain professionals must manage the extended geographic reach of their supply or value chains, and the ensuing need to address complexity through collaborative solutions, enabling greater visibility and improved efficiencies across the various parties that encompass a modern supply chain."
Content and topics for the 2013 Summit will reflect the innovation occurring across industries as companies prepare for growth in terms of organization, partners, visibility and solutions, while managing increasingly complex and constantly changing supply chains.
