Policies and Strategies
CLEVELAND, Sept. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanstar Communications, Inc., today
unveiled the agenda for the upcoming Frontline Solutions' Supply Chain Week
symposia that focus on the aviation, aerospace, and defense industries. These
symposia provide attendees with a detailed look at standards that help
optimize effective supply chain solutions in these markets. According to AMR
Research in the Supply Chain Management Applications Report, 2001-2006,
"Government has shown an inclination to reshape and improve its supply chains.
The new dynamics of logistics, the focus on high-tech, and less taxpayer funds
being available have led the U.S. Department of Defense and other agencies
internationally to reengineer for more private-sector profile performance."
