Supply Chain Professionals: Learn About "Big Data"
April 18th program focuses on the implications of Big Data - its great promise, potential pitfalls and new combinations of human and machine abilities critical to getting maximum value from this phenomenon
New York, NY—Today’s global supply chains are more complex than ever. As a result, the data generated at planning, control, and execution points has expanded in breadth, depth, accuracy, and precision - plus it appears at increasingly rapid rates. The result is “Big Data” which threatens to overload conventional management tools and capabilities. This phenomenon also impacts today’s supply chain professional as it requires a new skill set in the workplace – those of a “knowledge worker”. This will lead to an exciting and challenging time as we strive to balance our professional and personal lives.
The next joint meeting of ISM-7 Counties, CSCMP NYCONN Roundtable and APICS Tappan Zee* will help you understand the issues and receive invaluable advice from the experts. In addition, attendees will be treated to a walking tour of the Maritime Industry Museum of Fort Schyuler.
