8 KEYNOTE: Achieving customer excellence in the new era of CRM by Wim Coorevits from Microsoft 11:15-12:00 MC 1 Manufacturers of all types, from equipment to high-tech, process-oriented, and chemical, are all, at some level, in the same business. That business is creating valuable relationships with customers. All face a common challenge of attracting, engaging and retaining today s highly empowered and connected customer. What does it take to thrive in the new customer age? Industry experts and customer-centric organizations agree that that the most successful organizations are those that enable their employees to respond effectively to customers, drive successful outcomes and engender customer loyalty. At Microsoft Dynamics, we have reimagined our CRM solution to address these shifting fundamentals, giving your people the tools they need to cultivate those relationships and be successful. Discover ways you can take advantage of new capabilities across sales, marketing, and customer service today and in the future, including advances in social and mobile.

9 KEYNOTE: Manufacturing Industry Transformation by Véronique Leysen from PTC 11:15-12:00 MC 2 The Economist Magazine argues that we are entering the Third Industrial Revolution, the digitization of manufacturing where most of the value is created through Strategy and Planning. When it comes to innovation there are so many new approaches brought on by digital technology (e.g. three-dimensional printers, social manufacturing, etc.), that you have to compete at a strategic level to win. Find out how PTC supports this revolution in the 7 Major Forces of Transformation in the Manufacturing Sector.

10 PROJECTBASED MANUFACTURING by Stefaan Van Cauwenberghe & Dirk Luwaert 13:30-14:20 English MC 1 As a company manufacturing products and managing them as a project, you are using engineering and ERP/CRM software at the same time. You might even use Product Lifecycle Management software or some kind of product configurator. With all those different solutions, it is easy to lose track, the more if they are not integrated. During this session, we would like you to show how PLM, ERP and a configurator can be tied together in a few example scenarios. Working in a project modus often requires mobile access to your data. We will make some suggestions on what s possible in that field. ADVANCED DISCRETE & LEAN MANUFACTURING by Steven Hermans, Heidi Verbeeck & Dominique Payen 13:30-14:20 English MC 2 When you re a manufacturer in Europe, you re always facing challenges to control cost, improve visibility, win new business and enable growth. Ad Ultima is focused on offering Best Practice solutions based on an overall vision, and addressing the specific challenges like supply chain planning and process optimization. Leading manufacturers have adopted or are now applying the principles of lean manufacturing as a key part of their drive to control costs. Reducing inventory and improving coordination with the supply chain can help you achieve a leaner profile. We will show you how a lean manufacturer can use Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 to support this manufacturing strategy. During this session we will give you an answer on Ad Ultima s vision on Discrete & Lean Manufacturing, What is Lean Manufacturing and how to implement?, How does AX 2012 support Lean Manufacturing. 2 WAY LOGISTICS: Empowering forward & reverse logistics by Chris Van Boxel 13:30-14:20 English MC 3 The time that production companies only need a forward gear when it comes to their supply chains is set to change. Events such as the rise of on line shopping and home deliveries, growing pressure to make efficient use of transport, and regulations requiring items such as electrical products and cardboard waste to be recycled are already pushing reverse logistics higher up the corporate agenda. Many logistics systems aren t well prepared to deal with reverse logistics processes. 2wayLogistics adds functionality to the MS Dynamics AX platform for managing with one software both reverse logistics and forward logistics for tomorrow s sustainable enterprise. Extensive horizontal functionality in out-of-the-box Microsoft Dynamics AX allows 2wayLogistics to focus on business processes that proceed or take place after warehouse & production operations.
