Distribution Centre & Warehousing Excellence Forum

China, Shanghai - 29th August 2013
Warehouses and distribution centers are the foundation of a supply network. It is not only used for storing goods but also is a critical component in the overall supply chain strategy of an organization. It is proven that a typical warehousing improvement can deliver savings of 10% -35% of your operating cost. Hence, when it comes to a successful supply chain process, warehouse efficiency is a critical key to success. From design to execution, an efficient warehouse can improve its process, performance, efficiency and overall quality.

On Aug 29th, the Council is honored to organize the Distribution Centre & Warehousing Excellence Forum in Shanghai. This forum will present the latest strategies and trends surrounding the areas of warehouse and distribution operation in China and Asia, how leading companies successfully achieve their goals with case studies, what challenges and opportunities they are facing and the potential solutions to move forward. At this event, you will also hear from industry thought leaders and have the opportunity to network with like-minded professionals facing similar warehousing issues.
