Maintaining Agility in an Increasingly Constrained Supply Chain for Paper and Packaging Industries

The paper and packaging industries have endured huge supply chain disruptions across their entire enterprises, forcing supply chains to be ever more agile. From prioritizing the allocation of supply in ever more constrained production contexts to operating a make-to-order business in an environment with increasing expectations around lead time, these disruptions have rippled across to other verticals impacting their operations and making life in general much, much harder. 

So what are the levers and solutions that can address these challenges? The time has come for the paper and packaging industry to shift from reactive crisis response to proactive planning to revise strategies and improve decision-making. 

This roundtable discussion will take place at 5pm CET, November 24th. Valentin Lecouteux, Sales Director and Marnix Hollander, VP Industry Solutions, both of o9 Solutions, will drive the discussion.

Main topics to be focused on:

• Integrating local and regional planning experience and autonomy with centralized management and end-to-end planning.
• Allocation of constrained supply: how to prioritize most valuable customers when production capacity is constrained.
• How to operate a make-to-order business in an environment with increasing expectations around lead time.

So, what is a roundtable?

This roundtable is a 1-hour knowledge sharing session in which a limited group of people <12 will engage in a discussion around the topic of the month. The session is facilitated by an industry expert in which diverse groups of innovators come to share knowledge, discuss challenges, learn new things, and meet new people. The session will be highly interactive and collaborative, with a fresh twist.

We keep the agenda simple:

1. Introductions
2. Setting the scene
3. Group discussion
4. Networking

Why should I register?

1. Immerse yourself in a global community of professionals who are passionate about digitally transforming their businesses.
2. Learn a new tool and creative process that you can bring back to your team to collaborate and brainstorm together.
3. If you think webinars are great, but you’re missing the benefits of in-person collaboration and conversation. Be prepared to use this full hour of actively engaging on both Zoom and our creative end-of-the-session program.
