A Collaborative Approach To Chemical Supply Chain Visibility Using Cloud Technology By Theo Zwygers LogiChem 2011 will be the event's tenth anniversary and an opportunity for the most senior chemical supply chain & global logistics directors from the European chemicals community to come together once again share experiences, make new contacts and benchmark the latest chemical supply chain initiatives. Not only will LogiChem 2011 be a chance for the chemical industry to reminisce about the last ten years but an opportunity to shape the next decade. To celebrate a decade of LogiChem, there will be an exciting three day programme filled with networking opportunities in our new location, Antwerp.

3. Verbatim at Logichem…. During the last 2 days
“Volatility”
“Flexibility”
“Speed”
“Networks”
“Collaboration”
“Open borders between partners”
“Involve customers, suppliers and service providers”
“Increase visibility across the Supply Chain….”
Ironically most of the systems that are supposed to enable this change are:
Proprietary, Intra-company focused,
Installed behind firewalls, costly, take time to install…

4. The Trouble with Supply Chain Visibility
Everybody seeks supply chain visibility and control.
Few have it. IT systems fail at “inter-enterprise”.
Supply Chain Agility
1 NEED Sense & respond – demand driven supply
Visibility Velocity Variability
Multi-enterprise Value Chains
2 CONTEXT Globalization Outsourcing Collaboration
Process optimization across value chains
Single-Company IT Systems
3 INFRASTRUCTURE “Closed” ERP data and process model
Data locked up in partner systems
Over 50% of value chain data is locked up in partner systems.
