This workshop will explore leading practices and corresponding case examples of how companies are using these technologies, such as cloud computing and supply chain visibility and logistics software, to fluidly manage multi-tier inventory positioning and safety stock levels, and optimize transportation modes, costs, and service levels. The result: reduced risk and better customer service.
