A presentation by Bronwyn Engelbrecht, Strategic Sourcing Manager, Busby, South Africa and Gerrit Fourie Btech Industrial Engineering, Divisional Executive for Supply Chain Solutions, Santova Limited, South Africa.

The strategic partnership between The House of Busby and Santova Logistics proved that significant time and cost benefits can still be realised in modern international supply chains. Applying joint optimisation principles the team realised a 17% annualised actual cost saving, as well as a 20% improvement in ex works to primary DC lead time performance. The presentation explains the strategy, approach and execution that resulted in the business benefit of a complex Supply Chain environment, actively sourcing from 60+ ports into 20+ active divisions. Attendees will take away practical examples of the improvement initiatives, relevant to multiple industries.
