Registration is now open for the November 30 semi-annual meeting of the Supply Chain Resource Cooperative.

This event will showcase the high-caliber research and analysis completed by SCRC students while providing an informal networking opportunity for them to interact with corporate executives and to learn about supply chain issues in the “real world.”

Given the rapid and momentous shift of our current industrial ecosystem, it is vital to recognize where we are today, where technology and the global economy is headed, and how we are going to navigate forward in the next decade. We are at the beginning of a completely different era in the history of global trade: the era of the digitized supply chain.

It is important to recognize that managing supply chains is no longer about just cost optimization. It is about developing and sustaining a deep understanding of the components of customer value while making pre-emptive strategic plans that can better respond to sudden shifts in customer requirements and market conditions.

Participants will hear from:

• Dr. Robert Handfield, Bank of America University Distinguished Professor of Supply Chain Management and SCRC Executive Director
• Annette L. Ranft, Dean and Stephen P. Zelnak Jr. Chair Dana Magliola, Director, SCRC

Participants will also have the opportunity to discuss during group breakout sessions.

The program concludes with a Student Gallery Walk that showcases student projects completed as part of their supply chain management practicum courses.

Dress for the meeting and reception will be business casual.
