“Supply Chain Management Powered by “X”

DB Schenker,take part in the collaboration as sponsor of the prize for Best MSc SCM Thesis and the reception following the event. SCM.dk is the media partner of the event.

The “X” represents new technologies, solutions, innovative initiatives or processes that energize and power the supply chain and generate high-value for the company as a whole. This was the inspiring topic being discussed during the event. The program of the 3rd Copenhagen Supply Chain Management Summit 2011 was initiated by Professor Christian Wickmann Matthiesen from Copenhagen University who discussed the regional implications of the coming Fehmarn Belt connection. Afterwards did the summit programme include presentations by Senior Director of Global Supply Chain at Ferrosan A/S, Mitra Sigurdsson and Logistics Manager at Dyrup A/S, Stig Chr. Nielsen as well as Demand Planning Manager at Novozymes A/S, Casper Algren who each had their input on what the “X” represents in their companies. Finally Professor and PhD, Britta Gammelgaard from CBS gave her views on trends within SCM focussing on the three C’s: “Centralization, Collaboration & Change in the ‘supply chain geography’”.
