DESCRIPTION:On Thursday 4th February\, Dr Jag Srai will give a
  presentation on Configuring international supply 
 chains: an integrated operations perspective - fin
 dings from research and practice.\nBusinesses have
  long recognized the importance of an effective su
 pply chain\, one that integrates suppliers\, enabl
 es efficient production and is able to service cus
 tomers in a timely cost effective manner. The desi
 gn of the supply network\, linking suppliers\, pro
 ducers\, distributors with their customers has evo
 lved over the last 25 years from a basic process i
 ntegration activity\, to one of a complex network 
 design task. Globalization\, new routes to market 
 and rapid technology change have resulted in chang
 ing industry structures\, often involving a fragme
 ntation of the traditional supply chain. In his ta
 lk\, Dr Jag Srai reviews some of the exemplar mode
 ls identified in our recent research projects with
 in the Centre for International Manufacturing\, an
 d how the ‘configuration perspective’ applied acro
 ss different aspects of the manufacturing value ch
 ain can support firms to design radical alternativ
 es to innovation and market supply.\n\nPresentatio
 n at 17.30 - 18.30.  Refreshments from 17.00 hrs.
