The Advanced Supply Chain Management Simulation Workshop
ConQuest is a supply chain management simulation workshop that replicates the complete process from production to consumption within a single room, enabling all participants to see and experience the many issues that impact on supply chain management.The process focuses on four key issues that will enable organisations to improve their profitability and competitiveness through improved performance in the areas of:
§Inventory optimisation including material flows
