The Balancing Act: The Secret to Higher Availability and Less Waste

An opportunity to learn from a real-world, high performing supply chain that is driving profitability through better availability and less waste.

Maintaining high availability while keeping stock and waste under control is a key priority, requiring greater visibility, stronger planning and more effective decision-making.

Join us for a best practice and networking session, where a Slim4 user and key supplier to a leading UK café chain will share a real-world success story.

You’ll see first-hand how Slim4’s forecasting, supply planning and S&OP capabilities drive profitability and optimise operations—balancing availability with waste reduction, improving visibility, and strengthening coordination across teams and suppliers.

Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from proven best practices and exchange ideas with other supply chain leaders.
