An Executive Dinner by GEN - The Global Executive Network is an excellent opportunity for exchanging ideas with experts and your peers and discussing the latest and most important trends for a specific industry-related or management-focused topic. Executive Dinners are usually attended by between 20 and 35 executive guests and participation is always free of charge. 

Learn at the "Supply Chain Visibility" Executive Dinner how leading companies deal with the current market challenges and engage in high-level networking.

Topics to be discussed at this Dinner:

• Supply Chain Visibility - information as a competitive differentiator
• Transparency of the global supply chain, of all business processes in a heterogeneous system environment; visibility for customer orders, purchase orders, inventories and deliveries

Visibility is important for companies:

• Better customer service - shorter delivery times and higher level of stock availability
• Lower cost - for inventories and transport
• Increasing complexity - global expansion and increasing number of value chain partners
• Difficulty in communicating effectively with partners - monitoring and reporting of the supplier performance

This Executive Dinner is of particular interest to:

• Departments / Management of Supply Chain, E-Commerce, E-Business, Operations, Logistics, Sales and Marketing
• Big corporations (Turnover above 300 Mio £)
