One-day Workshop
Aligning Product Design with the Supply Chain
3rd December 2008, Cranfield School of Management
The workshop explores the interface between product design and the supply chain from a number of perspectives. In particular it will draw on the findings of the recent Cranfield study into the impact of product design on the wider supply chain. The study was a CILT funded seed-corn project. The experiences of two companies will be explored.
