Synchronize supply with demand: an inspiring workshop

In today's challenging economy it is more than ever key to meet the needs of demanding customers, while coping with shrinking budgets. A smart Supply Chain Management (SCM) solution can help establish a supply chain that can sense and respond to changes in customer demand or available supply. How? That you'll learn during our SCM workshop on 3 September next.

Topics on the agenda include SAP's supply chain planning and collaboration solution (SAP SCM), specifically designed to help companies synchronize supply with demand, and updates on new developments, such as a light implementation of the Detailed Scheduling features in SAP SCM, SAP Duet and SAP SNC within a VMI environment.

Two customers of ours, Syral/Tereos and Quick-Step, will reinforce our messages by testifying how they are benefiting from our Supply Chain Management solutions.
