A high-impact summit for manufacturing and operations executives
This summit is designed for manufacturing executives who own or manage operations or scheduling performance in manufacturing. It is especially valuable for operations leaders responsible for throughput and stability, planning and scheduling managers working to align demand with real constraints, IT and digital transformation leaders driving APS, MES, and ERP integration, continuous improvement professionals seeking to eliminate firefighting and improve flow, and finance or supply chain executives evaluating ROI, risk, and capital planning tied to scheduling. If your team spends mornings reworking the plan, this summit was built for you.
Hear from executives and experts who have achieved measurable, lasting results
Spend two focused days at the Philadelphia Marriott Old City with leading manufacturers to understand how companies build schedules that work, cut expedites, and protect margins.
- Day 1 Keynote: Senior Director, Digital Supply Chain, Top 3 Multi-National Life Sciences Manufacturer
- Day 2 Focus: Trend insights, funding support, 1:1 strategy meetings
Every session addresses concerns that block performance:
- How to ground your scheduling program in real-world operations
- How to use scheduling to increase throughput
- How companies handle planning versus scheduling
- How to align APS with MES and ERP so schedules reflect actual constraints
You will see demonstrations of finite scheduling and integration, participate in simulation labs, and review real-world ROI outcomes from top performers. A dedicated session on funding and evaluation helps you translate improvements into a credible business case. Reserved one-on-one time lets you pressure-test your roadmap with experts and peers, so you go home with a plan your organization can execute.
You will leave with: a schedule stability playbook and KPIs, an integration blueprint to keep confirmations and constraints in sync, an adoption rhythm that closes the loop to execution, and a vetted investment case your CFO will recognize. In short, fewer surprises, faster recovery when things change, and a clear line from better schedules to on-time delivery and cost performance.
Two days. Real results.
Keynotes, peer panels, hands-on tracks, and live solution demos focused on schedules that hold. (No "decks" that gather dust!)
Day 1: Strategy and Systems
- Keynote: Top 5 Pharmaceutical Manufacturer on what makes schedules reliable at scale
- Panel: Go-live results, market trends, and adjacent value accelerators
- Live demos: Finite scheduling and integration patterns
Day 2: Execution and ROI
- Best practices: Project documentation that speeds adoption and validation
- Results: What top performers achieved and how they measured it
- 1:1 time: Reserved meetings to pressure-test your roadmap
Take home a plan of action you can put into play next week
- An action plan you can put into place immediately & practical methods you can apply next week
- Benchmarks from teams that improved stability and throughput & clear steps to publish realistic, constraint-aware schedules
Business Impact: fewer expedites and missed promise dates, plus higher asset utilization and less overtime through more innovative sequencing and changeover logic.
Take-home deliverables: a KPI set for stability and throughput, an integration map linking APS with MES and ERP, an adoption playbook that makes schedules stick, a funding case your CFO will support, and a prioritized roadmap with near-term wins, accountable owners, and dates.
