Abstract:
Is a new paradigm and solution ready to finally change the status quo in terms of collaboration, forecasting and inventory management between consumer goods manufacturers and retailers?
That's the potential from Flowcasting, a concept and now technology first envisioned two decades ago by Andre Martin, inventor of the original Distribution Requirement Planning concept. Flowcasting takes DRP down the store level, and was built to connect the retail shelf all the way back to the factory floor.
But is it really different than existing approaches and technologies? If so, how? Is the vision of the shelf-connected supply chain a real possibility, or just more over-promises such as with ECR and other concepts in this sector? Can manufacturers and retailers really come together in a joint planning process? Is this all theory - or proven in the market?
We will tackle all those important questions and more in this dynamic event, produced in "Townhall Meeting" format, with a live panel discussion and interactive questions from audience members throughout.
Not to be missed by consumer goods and retail supply chain professionals. You will get it all in just 45 minutes.
