The Shelf-Connected Supply Chain

General Session | 09:25 - 09:45 | Wednesday 26 October
Industry dynamics are rapidly changing the status quo. Traditional models are no longer adequate, leading to tighter integration between the retail and the supply / manufacturing operations. The key drivers become:

• Localised consumer-driven assortments and store-level planograms
• Integrated shelf driven retail supply chain, distribution, production and procurement processes
• Proactive supply chain management in a Plan / Do / Check / Act paradigm
• Collaborative demand shaping, through agreed trade fund, promotions and markdowns

The size of the prize is worth the attention.

Driving Speed-to-Customer

General Session | 09:00 - 09:30 | Thursday 27 October
A number of factors are making speed-to-customer a burning platform in consumer-centric & retail companies, such as shifts in consumer values, flat growth, shorter lifecycles, private label, new and different sorts of competitors, longer supply chains and emerging markets. Meanwhile, disconnects between merchandising, store replenishment, supply chain planning and in-season management are still a barrier to effective innovation, time-to-market and cost effectiveness.

This presentation addresses how leading companies, and IKEA in particular, are simultaneously addressing "being right" (right innovation), "being fast" (time-to-market) and "being efficient" (delivering cost-effectively) through a combination of fast innovation, integrated planning and agile SCM best practice capabilities supported by strong analytics.

Get Connected to the Consumers, Stay Ahead of the Competition

General Session | 10:00 - 10:30 | Thursday 27 October
Listen to Brett Frankenberg, Vice President of Supply Chain Planning and Inventory Management, Coca-Cola Bottling Company Consolidated (CCBCC), shares his perspective about the importance of innovation to enable growth and profitability. Coca-Cola is a powerful brand, but as consumers continue to change their buying preferences as their lifestyles change, retailers increase their expectations, and competitions from store-brands and alternative products, it is imperative to differentiate through an orchestrated strategic innovation in product, marketing and supply chain. He will highlight that consumer product companies need to get even closer to their consumers, incorporate shopper insights into supply chain decisions; and collaborate at a new level with their retail partners. CCBCC is the largest independent Coke bottler in the United States. The company makes, sells and directly delivers beverage products to more 112,000 retail stores.
