of LogiChem 2011.

Now in its 10th year, LogiChem is uniquely positioned as Europe’s

most exclusive chemical supply chain conference, bringing together

a select group of 250 of Europe’s most senior supply chain directors

to share experiences, make new contacts and benchmark the latest

supply chain initiatives.

Not only will LogiChem 2011 be a chance for the industry to

reminisce about the last ten years but an opportunity to shape the

next decade.

The 2011 speaker faculty features a first-class line-up of the most

forward thinking chemical companies and industry experts. With a

brand new agenda format, you can create a personalised programme

around your top supply chain and logistics priorities.

Plus, to celebrate a decade of LogiChem, there will be an exciting

Celebrate Supply Chain Excellence At The LogiChem 2011Tenth Anniversary DinnerJoin your peers, colleagues and industry partners at THE logistics and supply chain event of the year - the LogiChem tenth anniversary dinner, hosted by TDG. Over excellent company, fine wine and delicious cuisine, this is an evening not to be missed!

The evening will be an opportunity to recognise and celebrate chemical supply chain excellence.

There will also be a special guest speech from Cathy O’Dowd, the first woman to climb Everest from both south and north sides.

Cathy has stood on the slopes of the world’s highest mountain four times, reaching its summit twice. She has been on the mountain as the last minute ‘token woman’ team-member, and as an expedition leader. She has worked in partnership with a wide range of international teams forced to co-operate on popular

routes, and has climbed with a team attempting a new route, the only expedition on the entire east face. She has faced the ‘worst storm in the history of Everest’ and the giant avalanches of the Kangshung face, and has faced warring team members as egos ran rampant. Cathy has experienced both the thrill of the summit and the reality of failure, and has paid the ultimate price with the loss of fellow climbers. Cathy draws on this wide-ranging experience of teams under acute pressure attempting overwhelming challenges.

Pre-Conference Supply Chain Network Design Focus DayTwelve months on from the last LogiChem, confidence across the chemicals industry has risen but the continued focus of global chemical companies remains on improving working capital, increasing end-to-end efficiency through closer customer and supplier positioning and driving cost out of the supply chain.

Supply chain network design has emerged as a strategic tool to help companies meet demand levels, improve overall corporate performance and remain competitive in the global market place. A successful network design strategy will enable companies to drive performance at every link in the chain - from transportation, distribution, warehousing, demand planning and more.

The Supply Chain Network Design Focus Day will showcase best-practice case studies in streamlining infrastructure and organisational design, optimising modelling and forecasting techniques, developing performance metrics and improving customer and supplier collaboration, while reducing costs and improving value.

Led by supply chain experts from world-renowned organisations like Dow Chemical, Diversey, Monsanto, Clariant and Solutia, interactive presentations will cover every stage of network design from strategic planning to implementation.

What Will You Learn?

• Create a demand-flexible, cost-effective supply chain network

• Harmonise internal processes around a smarter, global network design

• Balance customer service with the need to drive down costs and generate value

• Develop an analytical framework for the design of sustainable supply chain networks

• Key performance metrics to increase performance improvement
