AMR Research will highlight the lessons learned from the Supply Chain Top 25, including the key best practices and the connection between supply chain capabilities and financial performance.
"This year's theme is around infrastructure: transportation, production and energy, each of which is in need of an overhaul, if emerging markets are to be served profitably and sustainably, as well as computing and communications, where infrastructure is offering new possibilities to compete and collaborate," said Kevin O'Marah, chief strategy officer at AMR Research. "Supply chain strategies are increasingly all-encompassing questions, including location decisions, sourcing choices, and product engineering challenges that must consider the infrastructure possibilities of the near future."
