AMR Research Supply Chain Executive Conference
�The Economy of Abundance: Rebuilding the Infrastructure of the Global Supply Chain for Sustainable Growth�
The world financial crisis that froze business for most of 2009 has passed and growth appears ready to stage a comeback. But global business opportunities look radically different now as we enter the second decade of the 21st century. Infrastructure needed to tap emerging markets is being built just as an overhaul in our energy networks and manufacturing plants is beginning to accelerate. Supply chain executives are looking ahead to a smarter, more connected, and more sustainable physical and information infrastructure as they plan for 2010 and beyond. This means huge new business opportunities for industrial manufacturers as well as new challenges for consumer and retail leaders who must master a very different global supply network. Please join us in Scottsdale as we convene supply chain leaders from across sectors to look ahead at what this new infrastructure means to business growth.
Our keynote speaker, T. Boone Pickens, will bring hard won lessons on both how emerging energy and physical infrastructure businesses operate as well as their potential to impact strategies for supply chain leaders across industries.

| 07:00 - 08:30 a.m. | Conference Registration and Breakfast |
| 08:30 - 09:00 a.m. | Welcome & Introduction Kevin O'Marah , Group Vice President, Supply Chain Research In 2006 we claimed that �supply chain saves the world,� calling for optimism and audacity in tackling the big problems of environmental sustainability, economic development, and healthcare affordability. The vision was a global economy free of material want. Today, while that vision is closer than ever, it is still hindered by an infrastructure that is out of synch with emerging business opportunities and challenges. New systems for transportation, production, energy, and communications are needed to bring prosperity to all without overwhelming the earth�s resources. To many, this seems impossible. To supply chain people, it�s just a big systems engineering problem. This event is about starting to solve that problem. |
| 09:00 - 10:00 a.m. | Keynote: T. Boone Pickens T. Boone Pickens, will bring hard-won lessons on both how emerging energy and physical infrastructure businesses operate as well as their potential to impact strategies for supply chain leaders across industries. |

He will describe how his organization is transforming the supply chain of the corporation. |
| 12:00 - 01:30 p.m. | Lunch |
| 01:30 - 02:15 p.m. | The Foundations of Information Infrastructure: View from Semiconductor Brian Krzanich, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Manufacturing and Supply Chain, Intel It could be argued that no company deserves more credit for ushering in the information age than Intel. As the brains inside of so many computing devices, Intel�s microprocessors represent the essential infrastructure element supporting global communications and information management. The chips themselves come from a highly engineered and very expensive production infrastructure that spans the globe. Mr. Krzanich is responsible for that infrastructure. He will discuss Intel�s plans for continuing to expand the capability of this production network while driving down costs to exponentially broaden access to the information economy of the future. |
| 02:15 - 03:00 p.m. | Emerging Markets Infrastructure Panel Roddy Martin , Vice President and General Manager Research Fellow Roddy Martin will lead a panel discussion on the challenges and opportunities associated with entering and sustaining consumer businesses in emerging markets. Supply chain professionals from consumer products, healthcare, and industrial manufacturers will bring their lessons learned on what essential infrastructure is required in terms of transportation, retail distribution, information management, and security to accommodate such issues as cold-chain maintenance, IP protection, and low-income country price points. |
| 03:00 - 03:30 p.m. | Break |
| 03:30 - 04:15 p.m. | Enabling the Low-Carbon Economic Transformation Stephen Stokes , Vice President, Sustainability and Green Technologies Stimulus and recovery funding, regulation, market pressure, and an ever-increasing focus on corporate environmental performances, costs, and consequences are critical factors in the centralization of sustainability as part of a 21st century business strategy. This is the decade in which critical foundations of the low-carbon economy will be established, and production and energy efficiency are central to this transformation. Dr. Stephen Stokes will lead a panel discussion on the science and engineering implications of sustainability as an overarching goal in next-generation global supply chain strategies. Topics covered will include energy and efficiency strategies and outlooks, material consumption and waste control strategies, and the accounting challenges of carbon and other emissions. The panel will comprise leading supply chain professionals from consumer and industrial sectors as well as some of Gartner�s top thinkers on the topic. |
| 04:15 - 05:00 p.m. | Supply Chain and IT: What's a Leader to Do? The global supply chain as we know it today is a product of the revolution in information technology that has transformed manufacturing, distribution, and retail. This panel, which will feature several of Gartner�s top thinkers, will address questions surrounding the IT infrastructure of the 21st century supply chain, including wireless communications, digital supply chain, smart devices and master data management. |

| 08:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. | Classroom Sessions Day Two of the conference will offer attendees a selection of classroom sessions designed to provide practitioner-level detail and open group discussion for professional development. Classroom topics will be on focused on value chain transformation, value chain performance, planning, supply chain execution, the consumer value chain, and value chain collaboration. There will be a classroom in each session that focuses on one of these topics. |
| 08:30 - 09:30 a.m. | Classroom Session 1 |
| Value Chain Transformation: Becoming Demand Driven: The Transformation of NCR Jane Barrett and Mike Groesch, NCR  Becoming demand-driven requires a conscious shift in mindset, along with the right vision, organization, processes, measurement and technology. It is more than a project to improve forecasting, or S&OP, or use of downstream data. It is the business strategy. In this session AMR will introduce the concepts and framework for becoming demand-driven, and NCR will share the story of their journey. | |
| Value Chain Performance: Drive Inventory Performance With Innovative Strategies and the Right Metrics Paul Lord and Dave Aquino The role of inventory in the value network, by form and function, is seldom clear. Many companies use insufficient, superficial and silo�d approaches to monitoring and managing inventory, resulting in out of control levels. This session will focus on best practices in inventory management and the metrics that matter. | |
| Planning: All Supply Chains Are Not Created Equal: Power of Segmentation Debra Hofman and Tim Payne A segmented response to demand needs analysis of key characteristics of channels and products to build tailored responses by supply chain segment. This session provides insight into how leaders are segmenting their supply chains and operationalizing this into distribution networks, inventory postponement capabilities, synchronized order fulfillment and their incoming supply networks. | |
| Supply Chain Execution: Elevating the Role of Logistics Providers as Supply Chain Partners Greg Aimi and Roddy Martin As the role of the LSP becomes more strategic, they help transform your supply chain. Achieving this partnership needs clarity on your supply chain strategy, and the LSP�s culture, core capabilities and vision. This session will explore outsourcing trends to move from transactional services to a strategic partner. | |
| The Consumer Value Chain:The Handbook for Becoming Demand Driven in Retail Mike Griswold and Kevin Sternekert Demand-driven retailers deliver 73% greater return on assets, improve inventory turns by 19%, and see 55% more revenue growth. How do they use demand insights into shopper behavior store interaction to build a high performing supply chain? In this session we will look at five key strategies for becoming demand-driven in retailing. | |
| Value Chain Collaboration: Mitigating Risk in Global Product Development and Manufacturing Mike Burkett, Jill Chsdzynski and Roddy Martin Shifting global markets demand a flexible but aligned product development and manufacturing strategy. This needs initiatives to improve segmentation, metrics, complexity reduction, talent and innovation, leveraging information technology and manufacturing intelligence. This session will discuss this best-in-class approach to manufacturing strategy with examples of how it is being done by leaders. | |
| 09:45 - 10:45 a.m. | Classroom Session 2 |
| Value Chain Transformation: SaaS, Cloud, and BPO: New Models for Supply Chain Solutions and Services Dana Stiffler Outsourcing done right means orchestrating your business networks, not merely operating a supply chain. How do you structure, monitor, flex, and manage performance of these networks? Can SaaS, cloud, and business process outsourcing really cut costs and rapidly onboard new capabilities? This session will discuss the realities, benefits and risks associated with different delivery models in an outsourced environment. | |
| Value Chain Performance: Metrics That Matter: Aligning Manufacturing With the Value Chain Debra Hofman and Simon Jacobson Defining and aligning the right supply chain metrics to drive behavior and understand the tradeoffs is critical. In this session we look at the right metrics to measure manufacturing performance in a way that maximizes performance, achieves the business goals and aligns with customer expectations, and hear from a panel of experts. | |
| Planning: Stuck in Neutral? S&OP Best Practices Jane Barrett and Tim Payne A recent study found only 18% of companies rate themselves as proficient in S&OP, and data shows that industries are going backward, not forward, in driving improvements when mapped to our 4-stage maturity model. Yet the benefits of effective S&OP is proven. Here we share insights on how to get your organization into high gear by tackling change management, process improvement and technology as a game changer. | |
| Supply Chain Execution: Annual Gartner User Study Reveals SCM Return to Growth Dwight Klappich and Charles Eschinger Understanding supply chain complexity and pressures, and how various organizations are responding to these challenges provides valuable insight into why some organizations manage to thrive in the face of adversity. This session highlight findings from Gartner�s annual SCM User study as to how leaders respond to these complexities and pressures. | |
| The Consumer Value Chain: Downstream Data: Turn Investments Into Value Steve Steutermann and Kevin Sternekert Leader�s that have invested in downstream data have created sustainable advantage and differentiation for their products and services. Downstream data pilots are proving their value and becoming the way to do business. This session will show how leaders are using downstream data to better target consumers, improve forecast accuracy and increase supply chain responsiveness. | |
| Value Chain Collaboration: Contract Manufacturing Strategies and Best Practices Hussain Mooraj and Simon Jacobson Networks are being redesigned as the role of external manufacturers increases in importance. How do leaders make these critical decisions and drive joint value? This session provides a framework and best practices for make vs. buy decisions, creating distributed supply chain visibility, and the technologies to ensure quality and compliance of product, processes and information between organizations. | |
| 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. | Classroom Session 3 |
| Value Chain Transformation: Building Sustainable Value Chains Stephen Stokes and Hiranya Fernando What does such a sustainable value network look like? To what extent does it complicate, contradict or reinforce other priorities? In this session we explore how sustainable practices and strategies can be built into the design, execution and evaluation of resulting supply chain performance. We will share best practices, emerging frameworks and case examples from leading companies. | |
| Value Chain Performance: Using Analytics to Ensure Successful Product Launch Will McNeill and Mike Burkett For most there is a gap between product design and what happens in the field. It took Toyota years to figure this out with their accelerator pedal problem. How can service analytics and decision support tools help a company better engage their customers and avoid future problems? This session will discuss how to bridge the gap between service and product design. | |
| Planning: Too Much Of a Good Thing? Managing Demand in the Era of Petabytes Noha Tohamy From point of sale to telemetry, consumption to social networking, there is no shortage of signals to help understand future demand. This session will focus on innovative approaches and best practices to leverage ever increasing sources of demand data using technology, computing power and connectivity. | |
| Supply Chain Execution: Raw Materials Sourcing: Can You Improve Your Bottom Line? Mickey North Rizza To manage escalating and volatile raw material prices, companies are hedging and using fixed price contracting and formula pricing. These strategies vary based on globally available resources, market demand, industry, and future projection. In this session three distinguished panel members from CPG, Industrial, and Oil and Gas sectors discuss their strategies and provide guidelines for future supply chain success | |
| The Consumer Value Chain: The Social Web and Mobility for Demand Sensing and Shaping Allen Johnson and Yvonne Genovese The confluence of the social web, analytics, mobility, and context aware applications and services enable quicker sensing of market patterns and the ability to turn those insights into optimal offerings that shape demand. Three research themes provide the basis for this session: The digital consumer, pattern based strategy and context aware computing. | |
| Value Chain Collaboration: The Pursuit of High-Quality Patient Outcomes at Optimal Cost Wayne McDonnell and Eric O'Daffer Healthcare is at a critical point in its history. It must identify and drive real value on behalf of patients or suffer the pains of legislative reform. Supply chain leaders see the opportunity to collaborate, and are laying the foundations. This session will review the roadblocks and provide three key actions to jumpstart trading partner collaboration. | |
