About the Conference
Innovation is key to business improvement; supply chain planning and logistics are no exception. To meet ever-changing consumer demands, organisations must continually optimise the productivity of their demand and supply network due to global competition and new product and services introduction. Logistics services are also being drastically transformed through mobility, connectivity and the impact of Internet of Things is already very visible and quickly growing.
Leveraging modern technologies helps simplify processes, reduce costs, improve customer satisfaction, and provide greater control over your supply chain and logistics services. Organisations who adopt those modern practices that are flexible, account for disruptions, and support scalability for growth are the ones who will succeed in the long run.
Thanks to two keynotes from Professor Katariina Kemppainen from
AALTO University and Bartek Borczynski from NOBIA AB, we will explore real world examples and use cases on how advanced companies take their supply chain planning and logistics management to the next level. We will discuss the role of technology in these transitions and provide practical guidance on successful ways for utilising and deploying technology. In the afternoon workshops, we will deep dive in those modern solutions that can be implemented with any ERP backbone.
This conference is open to all, pending your registration confirmation. The event starts with a plenary session in the morning developing key strategies, followed by two parallel tracks, workshop-style, in the afternoon: one for Supply Chain Planning (incl. S&OP) and one for Logistics (incl. Warehouse and Transportation). For more details on the agenda, click here.

Prof. Katariina Kemppainen - University of Aalto
Establishing a well-functioning Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) is possible. Yet, we often fail to estimate required effort, time and capabilities. Based on real-life experiences and recent research, Katariina Kemppainen will share what is needed for achieving S&OP excellence.
You will learn:
- How organisational and individual maturity impact S&OP improvements
- Why it is hard to benefit from available technologies and data
- What is the role of descriptive and predictive analytics versus qualitative measures and judgement in S&OP decision-making.
Eric Prevost - Oracle
Building the connected warehouse is a milestone in maximising warehouse efficiency, and positioning a company to decisively navigate changes across the supply chain. This presentation will show how real-time data intelligence delivers the visibility and control needed to effect measurable improvements across the entire extended supply chain.

| 13:30-14:20 | Integrated Business Planning is the new norm | Denis Senpere - Inspirage | Sales and Operations planning (S&OP), the cross-functional process to align the commercial processes of sales and marketing with the operational processes of supply, is having a renaissance. It is not a new process. Companies have worked on these processes for over 35 years; but only few succeed. Why is it so hard? |
| 14:20-15:10 | Modern Supply Chain Planning | Lionel Albert and Ralph van Toor - Oracle | This presentation is built on a « day in a life » scenario for Sales & Operation Planning, using a live support of the Oracle Supply Chain Planning Cloud solution. |
| 15:10-15:55 | Return of experience/Industrial case studies | Emir Musabasic - Inspirage | We will present case studies which illustrate how companies in different maturity levels have improved their capabilities and managed to climb up the S&OP maturity ladder. In this hands on presentation, we refer to the five-stage Gartner model of S&OP maturity in order to show what tools and activity have proven successful. |
| Time | Sessions | Speakers | Details |
| 13:30-14:20 | Modern Warehouse Management | Dominic Regan – Oracle | Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud introduces a new paradigm in supply chain execution solutions with robust extended warehouse management at significantly lower total cost of ownership.

| 15:10-15:55 | Connected Freight | Dominic Regan and Eric Prévost – Oracle | When you ship high-risk goods, you care about deep and permanent insight about your freight throughout its journey, down to the package level. This session will present how your goods are continuously monitored and analysed so that you can act fast in case of an issue, protect the required part of the freight and dispatch repairs or replacements if needed. The use of predictive analytics will be explained with real-life examples. |
