CSCMP EDGE 2017, September 24-27, 2017, Atlanta, Georgia

Hosted by the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP), #EDGE2017 brings together over 3,000 supply chain professionals and thought leaders each year to exchange ideas and learn how to make their supply chains work more efficiently, effectively and exceptionally. LLamasoft will co-present alongside three of its customers to discuss their journeys to supply chain excellence:

 

A New Approach to Supply Chain Planning

 

Who:

Jeff Metersky, VP, Solution Strategy, LLamasoft
Het Naik, Senior Manager, Supply Chain Strategy and Network Optimization, U.S. Silica
 

What:

This session will cover one of the fastest-growing approaches to supply chain planning: applications. Many global supply chain leaders have developed powerful, tailored analytics “apps” to solve supply chain planning problems; these apps are based on detailed models of the supply chain and fill the gaps in traditional planning software deployments.
 

When:

Monday, September 25, 2017; from 2:00-3:00pm ET
 

Where:

Georgia World Congress Center
285 Andrew Young International Blvd NW

Argos: Omni-Channel Transformation Leveraging the Store Network

 

Who:

Jeff Metersky, VP, Solution Strategy, LLamasoft

What:

Argos, a £5.7bn UK retailer operating 840+ stores, transformed to an agile fulfilment model, with same-day choice of delivery window or store pick-up to 95% UK households. Argos began this five year transformation plan in 2013, which leveraged LLamasoft modeling technology. This session will discuss how that transformation was made, and what lessons were learned along the way.

 

As a result of LLamasoft’s work with Argos, this customer case study has been nominated for the The CSCMP and SupplyChainBrain Supply Chain Innovation Award™. In this session at CSCMP EDGE, both LLamasoft and Argos will present and compete as one of six finalists for this year’s award.

 

When:
