October 22 - Dairy Farmers of America

---

Established in 1967, Southwest Airlines Co. is the world’s largest low-cost carrier, headquartered in our hometown Dallas, Texas. The airline has about 58,000 employees and operates about 4,000 departures a day during peak travel season. They fly to 99 destinations in the United States and ten additional countries with service to four destinations in Hawaii starting in March 2019.

The tour will cover two areas: The facility tour allows attendees to tour the aircraft in Heavy MX-  a Maintenance Repair and Overhaul visit where virtually all of the aircraft is opened up for inspection and structural - systems repair. The shop tour provides insight into repairs of components- galleys, Engine QEC, composite components, and other components such as cargo and entry / service doors which Southwest repairs in its in-house repair shops.

Accurate supply chain planning is more difficult to achieve than ever before. The pace of change in products, seasons, and consumer taste is unprecedented. The omnichannel age has brought a new level of complexity to patterns of demand. Manufacturers, retailers, and distributors are finding it increasingly difficult to draw on data from multiple sources and turn it into accurate forecasts. 

So how do we derive order from this chaos of information? 

How do we align all parts of the supply chain to create customer-focused organizations that can quickly adapt to shifting demand?

In this session, we’ll discuss: 

1. Common pain points and pitfalls for supply chain planners
2. How the lines between planning and execution are beginning to blur
3. The benefits of integrating supply chain planning across the organization (integrating units like finance and sales) 
4. How disruptive technologies will shape the supply chain of the future
