How Can Healthcare Companies Improve Demand Planning?

This unique working conference brings manufacturers, distributors, group purchasing organizations, and providers together to discuss ways to work together better to ensure product availability, improve forecasting, and better support patient care. Join us at the HIDA Supply Chain Visibility Conference.

Conference Highlights

What true “visibility” in the healthcare supply chain requires from trading partners, and how it impacts total costs for all stakeholders
How to improve demand signals so manufacturers receive the information required to produce the product quantities that are needed, without waste or shortages
What supply chain partners must do to prepare for and respond to hurricanes and public health events
Why it’s critical to gain better real-time understanding of consumption, expirations, back orders, and other factors impacting demand, and how to do it

Who Should Attend

Supply chain professionals, demand planners and forecasters, operations leaders, inventory management professionals, S&OP professionals, strategic/national accounts leaders
Manufacturers, distributors, health system supply chain leaders, group purchasing organizations (GPOs), and IT/solutions providers
Anyone else interested in improving demand visibility, forecasting, and inventory availability in the healthcare supply chain
