AEB Conference to explore true value of Supply Chain Visibility and Risk Management

June 29, 2011 - PRLog -- A conference organised by AEB (International) Ltd will explore how supply chain visibility and managing risks create value, encourage investment and enhance shareholder value. Attendees will hear presentations and case studies from industry experts and network with peers. The conference takes place on Tuesday, 13th September 2011 at the Mallory Court Hotel in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire.

As more and more global supply chains stretch to include third and fourth party logistics providers, the potential dangers and costs of disregarding physical events and discrepancies outside a company’s control can have significant adverse effects on the business.  Visibility, risk management and business intelligence are crucial factors for corporations seeking continuous improvement.  

AEB (International) Ltd’s conference will explore the requirements and impacts of managing and understanding supply chain risks, the benefits of total visibility and the relevance of business intelligence for procurement, distribution and fulfilment as well as sustainable business growth.

Highlighting AEB’s experience in delivering supply chain logistics solutions, the conference is designed to meet the needs of supply chain professionals and decision makers. Expert speakers will outline important developments in the supply chain management sector, and attendees will be able to ask questions and network with industry peers.
