Challenging Your Supply Chain Carbon Footprint Paradigm

Be prepared for a highly interactive event as Dick Verbeek, CPIM, CIRM, CSCP explores and challenges many of your beliefs as they relate to “green supply chains”.  Do some of these paradigms prevent us from achieving our desired organization goals?  Audience input will be combined with North American survey data to identify several critical concepts concerning the measurement, and subsequent reduction, of the carbon footprint of global supply chains.

 

Utilizing government, industry and environmental data, he will help you to understand the carbon footprint generated by global supply chains.  Subsequently, Mr. Verbeek will present a series of thought provoking optimization paradigms that will help you to enhance your supply chain performance.

 

To register for the meeting, send an email to reservations@apicsgulf.org or call Tina Jensen, CPIM at (941) 746-2101.  Deadline is 12 noon on Monday, January 12th.  Cancellations must be made by 12 noon on Tuesday, January 13th.  No shows will be billed.  Please note Rosedale’s dress code is “No jeans or men’s shirts without collars, please.”
