APICS Golden Gate Chapter presents:
“Aligning Strategies, Operations, Metrics, and
Practices” Speaker: Joe Shedlawski, CPIM, Principal, Commercial
Operations, Wyeth Consumer Healthcare Description: As an industry globalizes, in terms of sourcing,
manufacturing, and distribution, the complexity of business operations, particularly of demand
and supply chain management, increases dramatically. Today, Operations Management is a
critical determinant of an enterprise’s success; the best-in-class “value chains”
are nearly twice as efficient as the average in terms of the agility that they provide and the
costs that they require. The key to superiority in this arena is not necessarily technology.
Companies become mired in strategy, in process, and in organization. This presentation will
offer some perspective on how to align these foundational elements of tomorrow’s market
leaders.
