Discovery Day: Managing supply chains for success

Discovery Day: Managing supply chains for success

This Discovery Day will enable participants to experience, explore, and discuss the relevance of cutting-edge supply chain research at the WMG, University of Warwick. This exciting, interdisciplinary event is the second of four Discovery Days from the Transforming Construction Network Plus (N+), which is part of the Transforming Construction Challenge.

• Experience the core concepts that underpin supply chain management 
• Discuss how improved supply chain integration could boost the UK construction.
• Explore the WMG Battery and Connected Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) demonstrators and understand how new technologies have the potential to transform construction supply chains
• Reflect on new perspectives, develop new collaborations, and co-create new ideas 

Administered by UK Research and Innovation, and supported through the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, the Transforming Construction Challenge seeks to produce safe, healthy, and efficient buildings by bringing together the construction, manufacturing, energy, social sciences and digital sectors. As part of this programme, the Transforming Construction Network Plus is uniting academic and industrial communities to create a new research and knowledge base, dedicated to address the systemic problems holding back the sector.

Places are strictly limited, so please register your interest by 12pm Tuesday 28 May 2019. Applicants will be notified on Friday 31 May 2019 if their application has been successful. Applications from early career researchers and probationary lecturers are particularly welcome.
