Event Details:

The automotive sector faces ever-growing challenges as a result of global product architectures, the increased leverage of common components across products and markets, supplier consolidation and constraint capacity around the world. Capacity shortfalls due to planned and unplanned events have directly impacted automakers' ability to meet production and revenue targets.

Automotive OEMs need advance visibility across the value chain to proactively react to disruptions and other supply issues. Likewise, auto suppliers need better decision support to intelligently allocate short supply to OEMs. This event is designed to address these challenges and the innovative and practical approach to managing capacity across the multi-tiered supply chain. The forum will provide a practitioner's point of view of the process and technology aspects of managing global supply capacity.

Opening Keynote: Paul Carbonneau, McKinsey & Company
Practitioner Case Story: Daniel Fletcher, TE Connectivity
Industry and Technology Insights: Aamer Rehman, Kinaxis
Multi-Perspective Roundtable Discussion: This discussion will provide a view into global capacity management issues from each tier of the supply chain.
