SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT (SCM):

In today's dynamic global environment, supply chains face unprecedented challenges. From geopolitical instability and economic volatility, to climate change and evolving customer expectations, navigating these complexities requires innovative solutions and a robust, resilient and sustainable approach. This Track will cover strategies and knowledge sharing in design and transformation of supply chains.

SCM-1 Keynote: Supply Chains at the point of Inflection: The dawn of a new Supply Chain - Bart De Muynck The global supply chain is at an inflection point. Traditional models are buckling under the pressure of unprecedented disruption, from technological advancements and geopolitical shifts to evolving consumer expectations and heightened sustainability concerns. This moment demands a fundamental rethinking of how we design, manage, and optimize the flow of goods and services across the globe. This session, moderated by Bart De Muynck, will provide an overview and a panel discussion around the challenges faced and the view on future supply chains with Federico Baiocco and Miquel Serracanta

SCM-2 Future Proofing Supply Chains in a Polycrisis World - Professor Omera Khan Supply chains are undergoing a profound transformation, driven by a confluence of global challenges, technological advancements, and shifting economic landscapes. No surprises - but those that are responsive and adaptive to change, disruptive in innovating and challenging the status quo will thrive in the New World Order. Resilience remains paramount for organisations across all our industries and diversification is critical to that. Reshoring and regionalization will speed up across the globe as a recalibration of industries and nations take place, we will see the rise of sovereign supply chains and ‘Allied Shoring’. Emerging trade hubs like India, Mexico, and Southeast Asia are challenging traditional industrial centres, offering competitive cost structures and scalable capabilities.The impact of the US tariffs and subsequent retaliations will re-order global trade and supply chains. While the US remains the largest global economy and key market for most, its protectionist policies will push other nations and trading blocs to reevaluate trade agreements, develop new partnerships, and build upon those already in place. In that context supply chain professionals must navigate these new trade routes, collaborate with local partners, and build robust networks to thrive in these growing markets. Ultimately, the future of supply chains will be shaped by innovation, sustainability, and adaptability, with logistics service providers playing a key role in this transformation. This opening address offers an exploration of the evolving trends that will shape future supply chains, and where innovation, adaptation, and sustainability are the driving forces behind the industries of tomorrow. For logistics providers, these trends mean evolving business models, embracing technology, and expanding their global reach.

SCM-3 Supply Chain Transformation: how to cope with a new World Supply chain networks born in globalization age do not fit anymore with this VUCA environment. Nearshoring, Friendshoring and Re-shoring require years to be in place, so what to do to cope with rising costs and uncertainty? Beside these challenges, firms have to cope with much more structural forces: demography is changing all over the world, talent war is a matter of fact for any country, so the drive to automation and AI are not a hype but a real need to provide same levels of throughput with less manpower.
