What is the Role of the Store? And, Which Metrics Matter for Retail?
While most retail strategies state cross-channel as a goal, today the retail industry today is anything but cross-channel in the eyes of the consumer. The reality is that ecommerce is growing and retail sales per square foot of the store are declining. As more people shop on line, the role of the store needs to change, however the answers on “how” are not clear.  The strategies are very different by retail channel.  Please join us as we share insights from our recent research from 150 retailers as they rethink The Role of the Store. This research will be augmented by retail-specific insights on the data from the Supply Chain Index and the Supply Chain Metrics that Matter as we look at a decade of performance by retail sector on supply chain financial ratios..  Marianne Timmons from Cap Gemini will join us to share the insights from our recent research.

Digital Manufacturing
Digital manufacturing means different things for different industries. For process manufacturers digital manufacturing is the coalescence of the Internet of Things, Big Data and Mobility.  Based on this transformation, manufacturing production and machine maintenance is planned when they need it not based on a theoretical calculation of mean time failure. It is about real-time sensing and translation of advanced patterns into new forms of production scheduling and manufacturing execution.  For discrete manufacturers, digital manufacturing is revolutionizing the supply chain. It is about 3-D printing, advancements in product lifecycle management and the redefinition of product services.  How far are we away from actualizing these visions?  Join this session to hear the latest research and gain insights from leaders transforming manufacturing processes.
