Supply Chain & Industrial Warehouse Summit

3-4 November, 2022 | Sofitel Melbourne, Australia + Virtual

Strategy, Technology and Innovation to Reduce Supply Chain Congestion and Capitalise on the E-commerce Boom

Strategy | Technology | Innovation

NAVIGATING THE SUPPLY CHAINWRECK & OPTIMISING THE MOVEMENT OF GOODS

When it comes to the current state of the global supply chain, weakness is everywhere. Massive dislocations are present in the container market, shipping routes, ports, air cargo, trucking lines, railways and warehouses. For goods to move seamlessly from overseas factories to Australian addresses, the oceangoing vessels, shipping containers, cargo terminals, truckers and railroads all must work together, like runners in a relay race. If equipment gets stuck at any point, delays ripple along the entire chain.

The Supply Chain and Industrial Warehouse Summit will look at how the pandemic has disrupted global supply chains and accelerated ecommerce sales growth so quickly that immense pressure has been placed on distribution networks and warehouse capacity.

It will explore the major challenges being faced by CPGs and 3PLs facing across the supply chain from shipping, containers, transportation, warehousing and the last mile – and how technology and innovative approaches can help unlock inefficiencies and optimise the movement of goods.

It will also look at the huge opportunities this has created for industrial & logistics property owners and investors as consumer goods and logistics companies scramble to increase their inventories and expand their warehouse space.

    PANEL DISCUSSION: Where to next? – Analysing the impact of the pandemic, labour shortages and inflation on supply chains and industrial warehousing

    There appears to be a perfect storm brewing as drivers are getting older and starting to retire. Covid has also knocked out many drivers and with no immigration of late, we are seeing constraints in the marketplace. With fuel price increases and shipping and rail constraints we are setting ourselves up for a challenge in the supply chain. In this session we examine how innovation and technology can ease the pressure of transport constraints while examining other industry trends.

    The confluence of increased demand for goods, inflation, transport constraints and labour shortages has stretched supply chains like never before. In this session, follow the journey that landed us in a global supply chainwreck and look ahead to what’s next. Speakers will examine what’s next for e-commerce; the impact of inflation and rate hikes; and how innovative approaches and technology can ease congestion and get things moving smoothly again.

    • Understanding the procurement challenges in global shipping and its impact on supply chains
    • What can be done to speed up the movement of goods in and out of Australia?
    • How has logistics as an essential service affected the industry and supply chains as we move from ‘Just in Time’ to ‘Just in Case’
    • Why industry consolidation has magnified supply chain inefficiencies
    • The biggest challenges and opportunities around lastmile infrastructure, urban logistics and industrial warehouses for tenants, owners and investors?
    • How can advanced technologies and robotics prepare us for the future?

    DISTRIBUTION CENTRES & LAST MILE

    Looking at evolving distribution models and the implications they will have upon traditional distribution centres, the last and middle mile

    The exploding digital economy and technological advancements have been fuelled by the covid pandemic which propelled e-commerce and the growth of online retail and logistics. Amid historic e-commerce growth rates, effective distribution centres, transport and the last mile has become a critical aspect of the supply chain. Just in time has moved to just in case and as more businesses are competing to implement tech solutions, increase volumes and expedite transport delivery to the end-user, embracing the last mile is now a key differentiator.

    • How can distribution networks implement greater efficiencies and what will this mean for warehousing demand and capacity?
    • As demand for faster fulfilment rises, how will this impact the demand for decentralised or urban infill locations to allow for faster last-mile delivery?
    • Are electric vehicles an option and what happens when diesel disappears?
    • Looking at the new technologies and supply-chain methods traditional distribution networks are implementing to meet capacity pressures and manage costs
    • Examining how new distribution models have emerged and what this means for industrial warehouse and supply chains? We look at the emergence of:
      • Dark stores,
      • Customer fulfilment centres (CFC)
      • In-store fulfilment and
      • Micro fulfilment centres (MFCs)
