Configuring manufacturing value chains - Responding to an uncertain world
24 - 25 September 2009 at the Møller Centre, Cambridge
The CIM symposium programme
As usual the event will be split into two independent, but related, parts. The first day will focus on current industrial issues, best practice and the application of research - with presentations by senior executives from major companies describing their experience in this important field. The second day will consist of academic presentations and discussion of the latest research on international manufacturing value chains.
While the exchange of ideas between the industrial and academic communities forms a significant feature of the Symposium, this structure is intended to accommodate those who cannot attend for the full two days.
