Unilever's SVP Global Supply Chain to Deliver Keynote

09 June 2009  
Share |
Hans Droge, Unilever's SVP Global Supply Chain will be discussing how optimising complexity is a particular challenge in the consumer goods industry today
 
On the one hand you need more complexity for legal reasons, to customize, to get more shelf space, and to exploring new channels. On the other hand you want less complexity to be able to innovate faster, to be more agile, to minimize write-offs, and to be able to source x-regionally. This presentation is discussing possible answers to questions like: What is the optimum complexity? How do you hit that optimum level consistently, without going through boom and bust cycles? How do you ensure complexity doesn't proliferate again after you (think you) have it under control?
 
Hans will discuss:
  • Evaluating your product portfolio and identifying the right opportunities for streamlining
  • Simplifying your global supply chain to effectively manage change in your product portfolio
  • Taking a total value chain perspective on simplification
  • Working effectively with customers to optimise complexity and costs
