SCOR for Risk Management Included in London Supply Chain Council Offerings

When:  6 July 2009 - 10 July 2009
Where: London

Real supply chain improvement doesn't happen overnight.
We think it takes two days.

The SCOR^® Model was developed to help groups translate supply chain processes into a common language. Why is this important? Because the first step in driving meaningful change is getting a group on the same page. Teams are then able to create plans and drive results.

To help you get there fast the Supply-Chain Council, a global, not-for-profit trade association, is offering two opportunities for training on the New SCOR Framework that delivers practical, hands-on insight.

Low Cost Sourcing

When:  7 July 2009
Where: Unipart House, Cowley, Oxford

The IOM is pleased to announce the latest in a very popular series of events hosted at Unipart House, Cowley, Oxford

The seminar will start at 9.30am and is scheduled to finish at approximately 4:30pm. Refreshments and lunch will be provided.

There are many examples of companies that have taken elements of their business and moved them from their native country to other (usually lower cost) economies.  Some have been successful, whilst others have experienced significant difficulties.  Recently, there have been examples of companies reversing off-shoring decisions and deciding to source locally.  Yet more have implemented mixed models.

In this seminar we investigate factors (both tangible and intangible) that do, or should, influence off-shoring decisions.  We will use case studies to highlight potential issues.  We then go on to look at tools and techniques for ensuring that once the decision is made, processes are properly managed and systems configured appropriately.  Through interactive group discussions and exercise we will encourage delegates to share their experiences.  Finally we will present our views on future trends and market requirements.

Seminar and Technical Visit - Ashford Inner Ring Road Shared Space Project

When:  8 July 2009
Where: Stour Centre, Station Approach, Ashford

A pioneering public realm scheme in Ashford in the Garden of England has merged the boundaries between engineering and art to provide an innovative solution to transport and environmental issues.
One of the key transformational projects to revitalise the town centre, has been the unprecedented step in removing the current one-way ring road built in the early 1970's, and replacement with a series of two-way quality streets, jointly designed by artists and engineers. Based on the philosophy of ‘shared space', which has been successfully implemented in continental Europe, but is still in its infancy in the UK, a greater balance between the needs of pedestrians and motorists is anticipated to be achieved. Ashford's old ring road, which still carries around 11,000 vehicles per hour, has therefore evolved into one of the largest ‘shared space' schemes in Europe.
Unnecessary street furniture, road markings and traffic signals have been removed and the speed limit decreased to 20 mph to enable better direct communication between all road users, whilst artist designed elements enhance the street scene. Space claimed back from the highway has been transformed into public areas for recreation and events.

Visit to RAF Brize Norton

When:  13 July 2009, 13:00 (for 13:00)
Where: RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire

RAF Brize Norton is the largest Station in the Royal Air Force, employing some 3900 Service personnel and over 600 civilians. It is an extremely busy station and constantly in the public eye, as the main airport used for deploying UK troops worldwide.

RAF Brize Norton is the home of the RAF's strategic air transport (AT) and air-to-air refuelling (AAR) forces. With its VC10, TriStar and C-17 fleets, RAF Brize Norton provides rapid global mobility and AAR flexibility - two fundamental elements of expeditionary Air Power that currently underpin both National and NATO defence strategies. The Station is also about to take in the C130 tactical transport aircraft from RAF Lyneham.

AT tasks include the operation of schedules to Cyprus and UK operational bases in the Arabian Gulf and in Afghanistan. In addition, Brize Norton provides airlift for other UK operations overseas and numerous exercises. AAR tasks include the deployment of aircraft for operations and exercises, the provision of AAR support for Air Defence forces that provide UK Homeland Defence, and routine AAR training for UK and NATO air forces throughout Europe.

Brize Norton operates 24 hours a day, 365 a year to move nearly 200,000 passengers and 23 million kg of freight, bags and mail each year in support of the British Armed Forces in all theatres throughout the world. The provision of support for civilian aircraft chartered by the MOD and operating through Brize Norton requires the provision of manpower, mechanical and IT support for a wide range of aircraft such as Boeing 747, Airbus A340 and Antonov 124.

Workplace Parking Levies

Where: The Civic Centre, Glebe Street, Stoke-on-Trent, ST4 1RF
Meeting point:  Please log in to see the meeting point

Speaker: Peter Bradbury, (Interim) Director of Highways & Transportation, Stoke-on-Trent City Council

Although somewhat drawn out, the Government is moving towards finalizing the legal framework for ‘Workplace Parking Levies’ (WPL), the ‘Cinderella’ of the charging world. Some of the key issues and the need for approvals of the first application of WPL, in Nottingham, were considered by Parliament last month. Many within the transport industry regard WPL as a very impure form of charging and certainly only an indirect method of tackling congestion.

Peter Bradbury will speak on the proposals and possible results of introducing WPL in UK towns and cities.

The Development of a Strategic Coach Network for the Wider South-East

Where: Silverthorne Room, Second Floor, Reading Town Hall
Meeting point:  Please log in to see the meeting point

Speaker: Richard H.Walker, Department for Transport

Coaches have been described as the Cinderella of the public transport network – but do they offer a potentially low-cost, high-quality solution to some of the public transport accessibility gaps in the wider South-East?   Richard Walker has been seconded from the DfT to SEERA to look at the issues and opportunities presented by inter-urban coaches.  Is a regional strategic coach network feasible?   This lecture is a follow-up to that given in November 2007, and looks at the issue afresh, in the light of subsequent developments.

Richard Walker is a geographer and chartered town planner with eighteen years experience in transport planning both in the private sector and public sector.  He was Chair of the Transport Planning Society from 2003-2005.

Supply Chain Network

When:  16 November 2009, 18:00 (for 19:00)
Where: Central London

The Supply Chain Network has been running for nearly five years. It was set up as a networking and learning opportunity for younger people working within the supply chain in retailers, manufacturers and logistics providers - we use the word 'young' loosely, ages ranging from 20s-50s - a beating pulse is the important factor!

The group numbers about 50 people, with 20 typically at any one meeting. We meet about every six weeks or so in a pub in central London. Networking normally starts from 6pm onwards with snacks at 6.30pm and the 'formal' presentation from 7pm, with more networking afterwards. We aim to have a mix of 'experts' and presentations from within the group. The environment is very informal. The objective is discussion rather than a formal presenter at the front, with presenters encouraged to bring issues as well as experience.

We sometimes have spare spaces, so if you're interested in joining us, please contact Kirsten Tisdale - put Supply Chain Network in the comments box.

Other activities are being planned and it is hoped to tailor the programme to the interests of those participating.  The plan is to organise a group booking to Hong Kong from Heathrow, although participants are welcome to make their own arrangements or to fly from other airports, probably leaving on Saturday 23 January.  The programme itself will take place during the week 25 - 29 January.  An optional trip to Macao may be arranged if there is the interest and delegates may stay additional nights.  It is hoped to secure a group discount with a hotel in the Wan Chai area of Hong Kong Island.
