The program promises to deliver the critical competencies required to manage the diverse components of a supply chain - materials, products, processes, and information - on a regional or global scale.

By partnering with the Penn State University Smeal College of Business, the program is able to provide presenters who have experience with this level of education. The speakers at the AHMA Executive Supply Chain Essentials have many years of experience in teaching at the university level as well as consulting for major corporations, writing research papers and books, and communicating best-practices standards to a wide variety of audiences. They have been recognized for their expertise with many top awards from highly respected supply chain industry organizations.

Upon completion of the program, executives will better understand how to integrate all functions along the chain through shared objectives, develop common performance matrices, improve customer satisfaction through shorter delivery times, use information technology to enhance performance, and work effectively in alliances and partnerships of the extended supply chain.

"Business and technology professionals are working more closely together than ever before, and HTF is at the forefront of this dynamic," said Timothy S. Farrell, AHMA's president and chief executive officer. "With this co-located addition of the Executive Supply Chain Essentials to the overall program, AHMA is taking our leadership role in the industry's supply chain excellence initiative to the next logical level," Farrell added.

This new event will be offered as an "invitation only" program. Participation will be limited to 30 executives, which will provide added value Added value in financial analysis of shares is to be distinguished from value added. Used as a measure of shareholder value, calculated using the formula:

Added Value = Sales - Purchases - Labour Costs - Capital Costs

Another unique element is that the program will conclude with the HTF exclusive Buyer Panel.
