Increasingly rapid product innovation, shortening life cycles in electronic parts, and more complex and interdependent global supply and distribution networks have created a need for new supply chain planning and execution models. Additionally, these trends have shifted competitive advantage from execution to orchestration.

In place of the linear, rigid supply chains of decades past, are sprawling, outsourced, “multi-tier” demand-supply networks. In response to these changes supply chain executives have had to shift their approach to plan and manage their operations and organizations. Latency, misaligned metrics, and long information lead times are just some of the challenges facing international supply chain organizations—and the solution is hardly quick, simple, or easy.

Nevertheless, best-in-class supply chains like Celestica’s seem to be on the right path. This session will focus on the current transformation of the global supply chain, and the ways in which Celestica has responded to maintain its position as an industry leader and innovator. Specific strategic topics will include business process automation, end-to-end visibility and collaboration, exception management, and demand-driven supply network integration.

Cloud computing is rapidly taking hold in all areas of business IT because of its superior economics, its lower risk profile, and because it is proven.  In global logistics, Cloud makes especially good sense because the benefits go beyond better IT economics.  It finally makes possible the inter-company collaboration and information sharing that is so foundational to transforming global supply chains.  In this panel discussion, industry leaders close to the “real story” will discuss in detail how Cloud is transforming operations and creating real, sustainable value for companies today.
