Being on-shelf - the formula for success is getting the right product to the right place at the right time and in the right quantity.  This is the ultimate goal of the Supply Chain and the aspiration of every successful business.  The challenges to accomplish this have increased exponentially as the new digitally-connected and empowered consumer is driving rapidly changing buying behaviors.   Retailers, suppliers and service providers all play a part in the solution but getting there requires focusing on the cause, effect and the future.  

The 11th annual Supply Chain Management Research Center Spring Conference will be held at the Donald W. Reynolds Center for Enterprise Development on Thursday, March 15, 2012 from 8:00am-4:00pm.  Join us as industry experts and academics come together to address current and future issues of on-shelf availability.
