New Visions for Global Operations: From Product Development Through Delivery and Recycling
December 2, 2009 - December 3, 2009
Wong Auditorium, Tang Center
Leaders for Global Operations
MIT Forum for Supply Chain Innovation
System Design and Management
The use of both the physical and internet-enabled worlds has greatly altered traditional concepts of operations and the cycle of product development and distribution. The new generation of products we know and love are designed, distributed and supported in vastly different ways. At the same time businesses are identifying new ways of configuring operations in a global environment.
Some of the factors that make these different include:
-Combined product and service offerings
-New design and development tools
-An emphasis on sustainability
-Robustness with respect to economic change
-Globalization in both product development and delivery supply chains
-A systems approach to developing leaner manufacturing and a more efficient supply chain
This conference gathers together thought leaders from MIT and industry to discuss the latest ideas to design, develop, manufacture and distribute. The sessions will cover topics from design through delivery and recycling, using a variety of examples from different industries.
