12th Annual Defence Logistics symposium

United Kingdom, London - 18th to 20th February 2015
Supporting European Military Logistics in a World of Uncertain Requirements

Logistics is changing! In a world of uncertain requirements and demands of future campaigns, militaries all over the world are being forced to adapt their supply chains and the life cycle management of their assets. With emerging operational challenges in theatres ranging from Eastern Europe to North and Central Africa, and growing threats from organisations such as ISIS and Al Shabaab, logisticians are faced with a host of new difficulties in supporting forces on operations. Such difficulties are accentuated by the increase in joint operations, often launched rapidly in response to crises, which have rendered efficient and flexible supply chain management vital.

The event will welcome a large number of representatives from large Defence manufacturers, coming to discuss their specific supply chain challenges and to share common solutions.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
