2015 has been a tough year for Turkey both economically and politically. Like many of the other MINT countries and those in the BRICS, the initial optimism over the growth spurt has been dampened and expectations adjusted. Turkish companies are now facing a period of uncertainty and will have to work harder just to maintain their top and bottom lines. The easy life, if it ever existed, is well and truly over. This means that supply chains need to become more than just efficient, and supply chain leaders are now having to change their thinking beyond simply focusing on cost reductions, trucks fill rates, inventory optimization and warehouse utilization.
The language has also changed; supply chain professionals need to understand and internalise the impact of big data, omni-channel consumer purchasing, automation, alternative fuel options, digital marketing – the old world of simply worrying about production lines, trucks and sheds has long gone! Technology is exponentially advancing, leading to science fiction becoming supply chain fact – autonomous vehicles, 3D printing, mobile shopping, delivery drones, intelligent vending machines and the Internet of Things are now just over the horizon, or in some cases already here.
At ‘ISC’ Turkey 2016 now in its third year, we will be discussing all these issues, as well as how delegates will learn how to:
Handle this new world of multi-channel demand signals
Incorporate a sustainability focus within their Supply Chain Strategy
Create a culture that attracts and retains the best Supply Chain talent
Improve the identification and management of risk
Prepare for the Personalised, Automated and Localised future Supply Chain
