From Gideon Milstein
(Committee member of British Chamber of Commerce and the Foreign Manufacturers Association)
Increasing labour shortages and disputes, rising wages, soaring prices in the supply-chain, ever increasing suppliers' lead times and currency fluctuations. These are the challenges facing manufacturers in the PRD today. How will these trends develop and what can be done to minimise their impact on your clients?
The first part of the session will be looking at:
An overview of China's macroeconomic developments in 2010 and 2011
Inflation outlook and projections of key commodity prices
Implications of CNY appreciation and medium term FX view
Increasing labour shortages, rising real wages and the trend of an ageing population over the next 10 years
In the second half of the session, Dr. Pat Cheung will be sharing how factories could improve efficiency and save costs drastically. Dr. Cheung is an expert in LEAN management and productivity and leads her company's ITQM (Improving Time, Quality & Money by 30-50%) activity on supplier efficiency improvement.
Discussions will follow giving members the opportunity to share their experiences in this regard and their solutions to those problems.
I look forwards to seeing you at this event which should be of interest to anyone involved in manufacturing or sourcing.
