Dallas/Fort Worth Roundtable CSCMP


Better Lucky than Smart?

Welcome to the 2008 – 2009 season of the DFW CSCMP Roundtable. From a strategic standpoint, our programs this year couldn’t be more timely. The global economy is forcing all of us to reconsider local areas for assembly and distribution. Our focus will be on the North Texas area as a leading supply chain hub in North America. Sometimes, we lose focus on the benefits found right in our own backyard—highways, railways, inland ports, major logistics companies, Fortune 500 companies, etc.. We’ve got it all, and the DFW CSCMP is going to perform an in-depth survey of it this year.

"I could say the supply chain design is now upside down," Procter & Gamble's head of global supply, Keith Harrison, told The Financial Times in June. "The environment has changed. Transportation cost is going to create an even more distributed sourcing network than we would have had otherwise." Steadily rising costs are forcing U.S. businesses to rethink a core tenet of their corporate strategies - the assumption that profits are always higher on the other side of the world.

The switch from off-shoring to "in-sourcing" or "near-shoring"—bringing production closer to end-consumers and shortening transportation networks to cut fuel and transport costs—is still more in its early stages. But in the long-term, the trend could have enormous implications for the shippers, logistics providers, forwarders, and transport operators responsible for managing global supply networks.

Sponsorships

This year, we are offering a great opportunity for your company to sponsor the Dallas/Fort Worth Roundtable. As you know, CSCMP’s mission is to lead the evolving supply chain management profession by developing, advancing, and disseminating supply chain knowledge and research.

CSCMP also promotes supply chain careers at the college and university levels. The DFW Roundtable does this on a local level with monthly meetings. This opportunity will allow your organization to support the meetings, tours, training seminars, and fund our scholarship programs for supply chain majors at area universities and colleges.

We need companies like yours to sponsor the CSCMP Roundtable.

If you are the person in your organization to make that decision, please contact us for more information. If you know the person in your organization, we would love an introduction or, the very least, for you to give them the prospectus from the website.
