Global Supply Chain Media announces the second annual SupplyChainXchange™, to be held at the Lodges of Deer Valley, in Park City, Utah, July 20-23, 2003.
"SupplyChainXchange is a unique event that can streamline one of the most time-consuming and difficult processes senior supply chain executives must deal with: selecting the right supply chain applications for their company’s needs. Sorting through the hundreds of new solutions and revisions of existing ones—all of which promise to solve problems—is an enormous job in itself. This is a difficult job because executives must actually select the applications, make them work for their company and align them with the business processes of their key supply-chain partners."
