Continuing education is important not only for personal career development but also for learning new supply chain strategies and tactics. Here are a just a few examples of upcoming professional education programs around the world.

ROI for RFID

Six years after Wal-Mart issued its mandate, the question still remains: Are companies really getting a return on investment from radio frequency identification (RFID)? Representatives from Bloomingdale's, Macy's, and Jones Apparel Group will talk about what they have experienced with their RFID implementations at the two-day forum "Item-Level RFID—The Road to ROI."

The retailers' presentations will highlight their RFID tests and implementations, the results of their testing, and the data surrounding their findings. This event will also report on how itemlevel RFID can help improve loss prevention, inventory accuracy, and cycle-count accuracy as well as reduce out-of-stocks.

Program: Item-Level RFID—The Road to ROI

Location: Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA
Dates: October 27-28, 2009

This course will help participants understand how the different components of the supply chain work together. Participants will learn the basics of transportation, procurement, manufacturing, inventory management, warehousing, and reverse logistics.
