Manhattan Associates European Customer Event

Alan Braithwaite recently spoke at Manhattan Associates European Customer Event on Supply Chain Directions in a Harsher Economy.

The UK and European economies are moving into a harsh environment; the 'R' word is being used daily. But the big questions are: What are the implications for companies' operations through their supply chains to counter the worst effects of the downturn?'

• What are the implications for companies' operations through their supply chains to counter the worst effects of the downturn?
• Where should the focus be placed in supply chain strategies for tougher times?

Boards and leadership teams will find themselves making some difficult choices over the next 18 months in terms of setting directions and priorities.

This presentation provides a framework for thinking through this new challenge and makes the connections between strategies and companies' systems priorities.
