Senior supply chain professionals within the energy and utilities sector will hear about global best practice case studies at a seminar organised by independent supply chain consultants Total Logistics. Delegates will be shown how to transform their supply chain activity by applying the latest proven best practice, via a series of interactive presentations from within the utilities industry and other sectors.
