Operational Excellence in FMCG

Sourcing, Manufacturing and Distribution in FMCG need to work in consonance to provide superior customer satisfaction. Inventory misalignment at any stage impacts the other stages and deteriorates customer experience. Forecasting errors lead to excess and shortages across places and time-lines. The only solution is to get out of Silo-working and have a holistic approach for customer satisfaction and growth.

Panel Discussion: Challenges in implementing pull-based replenishment system

Suppliers can control stock availability up to a point – but how can we ensure on-shelf availability once it’s in the retailers’ hands? What new tools are available which can help to improve inventory planning and reduce stock availability issues in today’s demand-driven supply chain? Insights into maintaining the right availability for the customer, without simply throwing stock as the problem

Untethered Orchestration of the Digital Supplychain

In a Supply chain landscape where half of the conference topics now pivot on IoT, Digitalization, AI, Machine Learning, Smart Factory, Intelligent Warehousing, and most definitely Blockchain, it is a harsh reality that about half the players still struggle to implement or migrate their ERP systems. It would be remiss not to propose and discuss a fresh approach that could tie all the data points together. Ultimately, the factories, warehouses, robots, computers and people will need to interact (not just interface) harmoniously. In this session, we will review a new approach to leverage the entire digital ecosystem – untethered to any specific technology provider – that will enable the end-to-end orchestration of all Supply Chain activities and events.

Leveraging Smart Warehousing to Increase Supply Chain Efficiencies : IoT, Robots and Automation

What is driving the adoption of smart warehousing? Consumer expectations. Today’s consumer expects immediate gratification. They want to point, click and receive their orders in days or sometimes hours.

IoT devices help to reduce the use of manual labor, incidence of errors and increase the speed of processing goods.

Autonomous mobile robots often referred to as AMR can move independently and utilize sensors and cameras for help with navigation. Different from Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV), AMR do not operate on a fixed path. AMR sense and perceive their environment, find their specific position within it, analyze and then execute movement. AMR are most frequently used to move or handle product within the warehouse.

Inventory Management & Supply Chain – A Pharma-centric view

The pharmaceutical supply chain is one of the most complex supply chains in the world. That’s no surprise when you consider the global nature of the industry and the size and scope of the companies that dominate the space.

With the rise of generics, increasing volume of prescriptions,and with the rise of cold chain logistics alongwith marked slow-down in mergers & acquisitions, the major transformations in this industry expected are : a push into emerging markets for growth, shift towards global inventory management and the unlocking of Ai, Big Data and Cloud tecniques.

Refreshment Break

Data Interoperability in a fragmented Supplychain

Panel Discussion: Indonesia as an emerging exporter in FMCG : leveraging SCM for capturing markets

Most of Indonesia’s success is largely homegrown. Meaning, domestic consumption (roughly 60%) has enabled Indonesia to grow faster than its neighbors, such as Singapore, whose economy is more dependent on import/export trade and therefore more vulnerable to slowing export demand.

Indonesian exports are worth about 25% of the country’s economy. With superior strategies in SCM, Indonesia can become a major exporter of its unique products.
