Executive Dinner . Automotive Supply Chain 

An Executive Dinner by GEN - The Global Executive Network is an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas with experts and peers and to discuss the latest and most important trends for a specific industry-related or management-focused topic.

Executive Dinners are usually attended by between 20 and 30 executive guests and participation is always free of charge.

At the "Driving Change: How to transform the Automotive Supply Chain into a Value Chain" Executive Dinner you will learn how leading companies deal with the current market challenges. You will also have the opportunity to engage in high-level networking.

Topics to be discussed at this Dinner:

• Revenue and Margin Pressure:
  How can we expand our aftermarket sales and service and accelerate product innovation to increase sales and grow margins?
  Growth in the aftermarket sector may be stymied by an expected rebound in new-car sales, pushing older cars – with more upgrade and replacement potential – out of the national fleet. Support for newer and more complex vehicle systems will help stimulate new growth, but new entrants into the market will intensify competition.
• Optimize the Demand-Driven Supply Chain:
  How do we synchronize demand plans with program-build schedules, to reduce inventory and supply chain inefficiencies?
  Inability to sense and measure demand across the various vehicle market segments has often left suppliers building to incorrect demand forecast numbers. The result is an unsynchronized supply chain with excess inventory of up to 110 days.
• Managing Risk in Uncertain Times:
  How do we manage and mitigate risk in an age of environmental, economic and political uncertainty?
  Recent events have shown just how vulnerable the automotive supply chain is to unpredictable events. From ash clouds and tsunamis to social unrest and general strikes, have modern supply chains sacrificed resilience on the altar of “lean”?
