“2012 Global Supply Chain Trends”

An exclusive presentation by François SOUBIEN, PwC Associate

Inaugural conference SITL EUROPE / Tuesday 27 March 10:30

PwC’s PRTM Management Consulting – the strategic management consulting services branch of PwC – has published its global study “Global Supply Chain Trends” drawn from interviews conducted with 150 global executives across a broad range of industries. The study identifies two priorities: (1) lowering operational costs and (2) ensuring the availability of supplies within a context of continued rises in the price of industrial and agricultural raw materials. A flexible supply chain remains a contact focus.
