The Adaptive Supply Chain Network Summit examines supply chain concepts currently being implemented and forecasts future scenarios shaping the face of supply chain practices and infrastructure. Attendees will meet with like-minded senior level military personnel and defense manufacturers who are equally concerned with implementing the best supply chain practices available The February Defense Logistics event in Arlington, Va., was a success with over 300 forward-thinking logisticians from the military as well as senior executives from top defense manufacturing companies in attendance. This year's event promises to improve on that success in every way. Never has there been a time of such rapid change and dynamic improvement in the defense logistics arena. Partnering between military and the industry which supports it is not only gaining increasing importance, but is also becoming an imperative for success. Nowhere is this more apparent than the defense logistics arena. Current initiatives like total lifecycle systems management to increase efficiency while improving readiness, end-to-end service to the warfighter, and next generation supply chain collaboration are driving forward the need for knowledge sharing and strong partnership. |
