Against the backdrop of a challenging macro economic environment this year’s conference will address the issues that are on everyone’s lips and provide solutions that will help chemical manufacturers to overcome these issues. One of the solutions being addressed at LogiChem 2013 is implementing complexity management and bridging the gap between strategy and execution in segmentation of customers, service and product portfolio . Moreover, supply chain leaders will share their strategies of how to build a robust and responsive supply chain in line with changing markets and business requirements which incorporates moving away from one-size-fits-all by focusing on the 1% that can deliver 10% growth in S&OP.

Chemical supply chain professionals who attended LogiChem last year regard it as the most important meeting in the industry. Mary Scheibner, Global Supply Chain Director, BASF thinks that “LogiChem provides an excellent opportunity for members of the chemical industry to come together on an annual basis to network with and learn from their peers”. According to Bert van Tilt, Head of Industrial Supply & Operationsm , Yara International, the conference not only provides great networking opportunities but also the latest insights in “different and wide aspects of supply chain management, from today and into future trends, talent attraction, sales and market linkage”.
