This year’s programme has been developed to incorporate uniquely focused streams, each tailored to meet the individual needs of our delegates.  Mix and match the streams for greater focused learning and discussion.  Plus, we give you FOUR focused and highly interactive workshops.

Masterclass A

Project Logistics: Supporting Your Company's Plant
Construction and Expansion Projects

Led by:

Dennis Devlin , Director – Global Projects & Energy
BDP Project Logistics, USA

Objective
To introduce the fundamentals of project logistics to Supply Chain Professionals in a manufacturing environment in a way that participants will have a sound understanding of how engineering companies, project forwarders and manufacturers (the "clients"of project logistics services) work to support plant and manufacturing facility construction and expansion projects.

Outline
Participants will taught the basics of the niche field of project logistics in a way that will enable them to effectively manage the project logistics support activities required to support of their companies' plant and manufacturing facility expansion and construction projects, and with a view to reducing overall project costs for their organisations.

Agenda

• The various roles in the project environment: engineering design, procurement, expediting, logistics, construction and project management. Principals, contractors and sub-contractors. Out-sourcing project logistics to engineering contractors vs.. managing the logistics directly - cost and risk factors.
• Front End Loading: the importance of project logistics planning. Elements of project logistics planning involving close coordination with engineering, procurement, expediting and construction functions.
• Landed cost analysis in the project environment - supporting procurement decisions.
• The move towards global sourcing, and the resulting changes in project logistics.
• Cargo consolidation for cost reduction; port selection.
• Visibility in the project logistics supply chain - the importance of bill of materials / purchase order line-item tracking.
• Risk Management and Damage Avoidance - packing and crating; corrosion prevention, and the importance of thorough planning and execution of activities associated with lifting, lashing and stowage of heavy-lift, over-sized and other specialized cargoes.Safety management.
• Transportation modes for heavy-lift and over-sized cargoes: barge; rail; liner and tramper break-bulk shipping; shipping project cargoes on container vessels.

Led by
Eric van den Born, Solutions Architect
Oracle, Netherlands

Keith Ip, Director - SCM Product Solutions

One version of the truth. That’s the difference to your logistics operations. So you’re able to manage your data, but how do you get the information you really need?

This interactive workshop dives deep into operational challenges. Delegates will learn how some of the world’s top companies are achieving significant savings and creating leaner operations with transportation excellence.

Delegates will learn how to:

I. Streamline entire logistics planning and execution process
You can plan, but how well can you execute? Looking at the gaps in your supply chain, and developing a closed loop planning and execution process for your transportation operations

II.Optimise visibility with one version of the truth
Recognising the importance of intelligent visibility to your supply chain. It’s not enough in today’s competitive environment to have “simple” visibility because everyone has it. Instead, smart companies recognise the value of “intelligent visibility” with a single-source data model. Learn how intelligent visibility can be applied to your operations and forever change the way your supply chain is managed.

III.Reduce transportation costs for your operation
Learn how other companies have saved millions in transportation costs. Whether you have a single-mode or multi-mode, multi-business network, don’t allow rising fuel and transportation costs to lower your margins.
