08 – 09 October, Premier Hotel, O.R. Tambo
In two weeks, Vicenda will host the only annual conference in South Africa focused on sharing best practices for modern distribution centres. On track for about 130 delegates, we’ve received an excellent response to the content and we look forward to a worthwhile event for all involved. This Summit will assist delegates to explore ways to optimize their processes in order to build higher throughput and a flexible system for superior customer service while minimizing operational expense. Presenters will address the fundamental issues challenging modern organisations and will offer strategic and practical approaches for consideration in transforming your distribution centre into a value-adding link in your supply chain. The content of this conference is practical and delegates consistently leave this Summit with fresh ideas and proven methodologies that can immediately be implemented in their supply chain. Specifically, delegates will leave with: • An understanding of the appropriate warehouse strategy for your organisation • Real-world success stories from world-class case studies • Best practices to improve efficiencies and service levels • Strategies on reducing operating costs • Insight into ways to optimise resources, maximise productivity and performance • Awareness of the potential shortcomings of your own systems and operation • Practical ideas and methodologies from experienced practitioners • Shared ideas from industry peers through the interactive roundtables • Insight into new technologies that are suitable for your operation • Great networking and benchmarking opportunity The cost per delegate to attend the summit is R4 920 + vat. To encourage teams to attend the Summit, bookings of three or more delegates from one organisation will receive a reduction of 20% on the total registration cost.
