2023 CONFERENCE PROGRAMME





DISCOVER THE POTENTIAL OF WHERE LOGISTICS MEETS IT!




PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP: MONDAY NOVEMBER 6


14:00 – 17:00 CET


18:00 – 21:00 CET


METAVERSE AND THE AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLY CHAIN

Learn more about how to simulate the supply chain in the virtual world to make
faster changes, optimise networks and see impacts in real-time, using perfect
synthetic data, and highly accurate forecasts. *limited places available!



Put simply, the metaverse is the use of new technologies to create a single,
shared 3D version of the internet, fusing real and digital worlds together in
the process. It is underpinned by detailed data and visualisation and powered by
technologies like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), blockchain,
artificial intelligence (AI), Web 3.0 and the internet of things (IoT).

For automotive logistics, the metaverse creates new opportunities for OEMs,
suppliers and logistics partners to reap benefits in terms of visibility,
connectivity and accurate planning. For example, the metaverse could help
stakeholders map out the whole muti-tiered supply chain in a digital twin, and
highlight, in a dynamic fashion, where any delays and bottlenecks are, how
unexpected weather events could impact delivery and offer up real-time solutions
to mitigate them. It can also enable stress-testing, modelling and trial
improvements which will improve reliability, reduce costs and allow better
decision making.

Join this half-day workshop to take a deep dive into the industrial metaverse;
and learn how manufacturing, logistics and supply chain activities can be
immersed into it and what solutions and optimisation outcomes can be expected.

WELCOME REMARKS



SESSION 1: ACHIEVING A CLEAR-LINE-OF-SIGHT

Improving visibility and predictability when planning and designing end-to-end
automotive supply chains and logistics

As ongoing supply chain disruptions have shown, having a clear line of sight
from end-customer to OEM to Tier-N suppliers is essential to have true
transparency, reduce downtime, manage transport capacity shortages, improve
status updates and refine smart decision making.

It has, however been a real challenge, as the visibility is often only between
OEM and Tier-1 suppliers; after which it gets blurred, leaving OEMs and Tier-1
suppliers exposed to issues only when it is too late to avoid any damage.
Whether this is because the supply chain is across borders and facing different
regulatory environments, or because there are disparate management systems in
use, siloed teams and not enough real-time data (or all of the above!), the lack
of visibility can often leave OEMs and other stakeholders blindsided.

Join experts from across the logistics and supply chain eco-system to learn
different technologies, processes and standards can help improve fully
visibility across stakeholders. Understand how OEMs and suppliers are tracking
transport and assets through improved transport management systems (TMS), and
using intelligent control towers to gain better visibility and achieve more
predictive planning. We will also explore the role that cloud integration,
artificial intelligence and blockchain can play in helping to create an even
clearer line of sight across the supply chain

SESSION 2: SHARING HEALTHY AND TRUSTED DATA

Building an agile work culture to respond to new challenges in a data-centric
environment

Within the new digital logistics and supply chain eco-system, where
demand-driven organisations have to respond to customer requirements in a
shorter timeframe than before, there needs to be a focus not just on the
technology, but on workforce agility.

Since an organisation is only as flexible as its employees, agility is an
essential precondition to respond to changes quickly, identify challenges before
they materialise and develop innovative solutions swiftly. In that way, the
agile workforce can also build strong communication and improve trust between
stakeholders, both within the organisation and between its partners across the
supply chain. The key areas to focus on when creating an agile workforce is the
decentralisation of decision making, internal talent mobility and improving
skills and toolsets.

Jon this session to hear from experts about how to nurture a working environment
that is nimble enough to respond to changes in a data-centric organisation,
create a cultural mindset based on openness and better communication, whilst
giving teams the right leadership, tools and decision-making powers. It will
also explore how manufacturers and logistics providers can bring an agile
approach from their IT teams into their logistics operations, supporting more
flexibility and creativity, as well as a readiness to adapt and change.

SESSION 3: COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE – ACCELERATING SUPPLY CHAIN DECISION MAKING

How automotive logistics experts can gain differentiation and support decision
making using real-time visibility and data analytics, uncovering the real value
hidden within large datasets

A key perquisite of a more digitised supply chain is the use and sharing of data
– or more accurately healthy, trusted data, not stale unreliable data. Using
data effectively can lead to stakeholders having a more complete picture of the
supply chain, giving better predictability, and fewer blind spots; which in turn
allows for faster and more effective decision-making, less disruption, more
visibility and the ability to achieve more predictive planning across the supply
chain.

However, since data resides in multiple siloed platforms, over physical and
digital assets, it can be a challenge to get to grips with it in any meaningful
way. Compound that with the sheer amount of data continuously being generated,
and a variety of different standards and protocols for how it is shared, and the
idea of a data-driven supply chain can seem a thankless, even impossible task.

In this session, panel members will explore how to move from legacy IT systems
with siloed data to EDI and API integration, overcoming interoperability
challenges, legacy systems and ownership and trust issues. Questions around data
governance, protocols and standards as well as data usage within a digitised
supply chain will also be explored, and you will learn about use cases and
strategies to implement at scale.

11:45 – 12:30 CET


SESSION 4: BALANCING CONNECTIVITY AND CYBERSECURITY

Protecting the digital supply chain through enhanced cyber-security measures

More connectivity across automotive supply chain and logistics also creates more
layers, from industrial espionage, IP risk or cyberattacks. The increased
sharing of data across all stakeholders over multiple platforms will inevitably
create vulnerabilities across the network. The global nature of a supply chain
and the extended reach into Tier-N suppliers have also increased the number of
entry points for an attacker.

The consequences of a cyberattack include massive network disruptions, loss of
sensitive data, and financial losses. Because such a threat is likely to be
aimed at the weakest part of the supply chain, it is important that there is
‘end-to-end’ protection and prevention, and not just within a siloed system.
Creating this complete layer of cybersecurity is an immense challenge for all
stakeholders as they have to carry out risk assessments on a regular basis,
considering software and hardware risks, and install systems, not just within
their own organisation, but in all the other organisations in their network.

In this session, experts from OEMs, tier suppliers and solution providers will
discuss how they collaborate to protect the supply chain, end-to-end, and
prevent malicious cyberattacks. Learn about the potential routes to protection,
what the prerequisites are and how to achieve a balance between connectivity and
cybersecurity.

SESSION 5: BEYOND INTELLIGENT ROBOTS

Overcoming strategic and operational challenges to using automation in inbound
and vehicle logistics

Whether in transport or warehousing, the potential for automating repetitive
processes can be a panacea in terms of cost reduction, greater productivity and
improved visibility.

However, the take-up of new machineries which enable automation is sometimes
slower than expected because of a lack of an overall strategy, incompatible
technologies, legacy systems, budget constraints, and having the end-to-end
capabilities to fit into wider supply chain processes.

Beyond warehouse robotics, automation can realise the benefits of smart
factories, supply chain data capture, automatic inventory management and
trucking route optimisation, and even handling of finished vehicles.

Attend this session to hear from an expert panel how to integrate automation
within major parts of your supply chain activities, including warehouse
management systems and transport networks, to reduce costs and optimise
networks.

SESSION 6: LOGISTICS NETWORK OPTIMISATION: DYNAMIC, EFFICIENT, AUTONOMOUS

Designing automotive logistics networks through simulations, optimisation tools
and self-learning supply chains

With more integrated information and digit representations of the supply chain,
manufacturers and logistics providers can quickly and dynamically optimise
networks, using simulation and data tools to understand decisions. With
increased data visibility, and the use of predictive advanced analytics,
logistics experts are going even further with the use of self-learning
intelligence, with the opportunity to transform outmoded supply chains into more
resilient, disruption-proof and transparent.

However, understanding how frequently and extensively to redesign networks,
which technologies should be used, and what activities can and cannot become
autonomous are important considerations. There are additional challenges in
terms of costs, scalability and time-to-execution.

This session will highlight how OEMs and their supply chain partners can
introduce and build on existing technology and processes to dynamically optimise
their logistics network, and explore the path to creating autonomous and
self-learning supply chains that will lead to increased efficiency and cost
savings.

SESSION 7: EMBEDDING DIGITALISATION

Developing and implementing a major supply chain digital transformation
programme, from updating legacy systems to bringing more visibility and
information to the cloud.

Whist the trajectory is towards a fully digitised automotive logistics and
supply chain, it cannot happen in a single step, nor can it happen in a silo.
The pace of technological change and associated benefits and risk must be
considered before an effective digital transformation strategy can be formed.

The process itself must be managed properly to avoid problems during transition
and after implementation, whether integrating TMS software, or transforming
entire backbone systems across plants and the supply chain, such ERP, MES and
S&OP. Whether it’s a lack of focus around organisational change and strategy, a
lack of expertise or skills, internal resistance to buy-in, budget constraints
or the ROI, a digital transformation programme must consider the key challenges
within the organisation. OEMs and their supply partners also need to have a
clear collaborative strategy that can help integrate digitization across the
value chain, rather than duplicating silos.

During this session, hear from panellists about how OEMs and tier suppliers
could establish goals, timescales, responsibilities and required resources when
developing and implementing a digital programme, transforming capacity planning
and enterprise resource planning in the process

SESSION 8: SCALABLE AGILE COLLABORATION

Turning the huge volume of data in automotive logistics and supply chains into
actionable intelligence, which assist and even automate decisions, will be a
significant differentiator in the performance of many manufacturers. To ensure
the fast and efficient use of data, automotive OEMs and suppliers need to mine
that data, analyse it effectively and use the right tools to uncover value.
Perhaps most importantly, they must then ensure that information supports
logistics engineers and operators in taking early and informed decisions, from
anticipating transport disruption, managing trade barriers to improving overall
network efficiency.

OEMs, suppliers and logistics providers are connecting the information across
their supply chains to provide decision makers with the right visibility to make
these decisions; increasingly, they want to support them either further by using
data analytics, AI and machine learning to see the patterns and possibilities
that humans alone cannot.

Hear from a panel of experts on how they have used data strategies to improve
predictive visibility, minimise disruption in the value chain and support
real-time “always on” planning capabilities. They will also discuss how to
effectively integrate systems, stakeholders and information from across the
supply chain to provide insights to reduce risks within the end-to-end supply
chain.
