Abstract: The Circular Economy concept drives innovative practices and business models targeting sustainable economic growth while increasing resource efficiency. In supply chain management literature, sustainability has been framed frequently with economic performance as main goal rather than sustainability. Our research aims at bringing together supply chain research and industrial cases inspired on circular economy. Our selected industrial cases are companies performing new ways of creating value from previously wasted materials. Our results indicate that there are significant challenges in the structure and processes of today’s supply chains. Yet, there are ways to overcome these, including close collaboration within the supply chain.
Valmet has a strong role in the circular economy by offering customers technology and services for converting renewable resources into sustainable products such as pulp, board and bioenergy.
This presentation provides an introduction to the OECD project on responsible supply chains in the textile and garment sector. It aims to promote the increased contributions of multinational enterprises to environmental, economic and social progress; and to decrease adverse impacts by multinational enterprises on matters covered by the OECD Guidelines in the textile and garment sector along the full length of the supply chain.
This project is part of the work the OECD undertakes to create practical sectoral applications for the recommendations found in the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.

DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION
This is the first presentation in a 3-part series on the "Centre of Excellence (CoE) for a Smarter Supply Chain," based on the academic research of Dr. Lai Ving Kam.
This SCM sub series discusses the following steps for establishing a successful supply chain centre of excellence:
1. CoE readiness assessment
2. Executive sponsorship and guidance
3. Good analytical tools
4. Bring core CoE team members together in one place
5. Career path for CoE team members
6. Know when to call in reinforcements
Center of Excellence (CoEs)
A strategic, cross-functional and global team that
- Facilitates organization to synchronize / complement all the business sustaining competencies
- Ensures a progressive environment is optimally constructed, performing, and supportive of changing requirement s
Establish organization-wide constant renewal and enhancement of pertinent conceptual, definitions, calculations, business rules
-Eliminate indecision, procrastination, confusion in strategic analysis
Encourage business sustainability
-Migrating reporting capabilities to the business users
-Promoting digitalization and Internet of Things in making on-demand data in decision making supporting system a reality
Significant business change and fluctuating levels of complexity make it extremely intricate for global companies with multiple, independent supply chains to achieve internal supply chain alignment across divisions.
On the outset, centres of excellence may sound like a universal remedy for supply chain management challenges as it lead the company in the right direction.
However, although they have provided significant value for some companies and their supply chains, they have proved less useful for others especially with the globalized market environment.
The decision to adopt a CoE strategy therefore comes with a few notable caveats, and ensuring a CoE's long-term viability and sustainability requires some candid self-analysis as well as proactive change management.
When done right, a CoE can be a valuable asset that produces long-lasting benefits. This review will discuss the various steps for establishing a successful supply chain Centre of Excellence.

This is my presentation from CSCMP Europe 2007 conference. Discover how leading practices are being used to transform supply chain performance by attending this session on the Global Value Chain Study. This study, undertaken by IBM Global Business Services in conjunction with APQC, identifies current practices, captures significant trends and establishes operational performance benchmarks in several key areas of Supply Chain Management: New Product Development, Planning, Procurement, and Logistics. By analyzing responses from
companies across a range of industries, in multiple geographies worldwide, it provides unique insight into challenges and demonstrates how supply chain management is changing from a static and cost-centric function to an evolving, integrated business model.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Overview
Organisations operating within the consumer goods
industry are required to source and make products
globally in order to take advantage of efficiencies
around the world. Despite, the many advantages of
global sourcing in can be a complex task for
organisations to coordinate and ensure the smooth
running of an operation.
In today’s lecture we will explore the dynamics of a
global supply chain and how organisations are able to
efficiently move materials and products around the
world.
We will also explore the latest trends and techniques
in this area that enable organisations to get a
competitive edge.
2
3. Learning Outcomes
• Determine and be able to discuss the dynamics of
3
a global supply chain
• Critically evaluate the issues relating to vertical
integration of a supply chain
• Evaluate and articulate the changing nature of
distribution approaches due to technological
advancements
• Identify and describe the advantages and
disadvantages of the different distribution
methods
4. Importance of Supply Chains
Supply chains cannot
tolerate even 24 hours of
disruption. So if you lose
your place in the supply
chain because of wild
behavior you could lose a
lot. It would be like pouring
cement down one of your
oil wells.
Thomas Friedman
6. What is a global supply chain?
International logistics is the
management of the flow of
materials, parts, supplies and
other resources from suppliers
to the firm; the flow of
materials, parts, supplies and
other resources within and
between units of the firm
itself; and the flow of finished
products, services, and goods
from the firm to customers.

With the supply chain typically accounting for 80 per cent
of total business costs and driving working capital
performance, it is a common goal to create a more
efficient supply chain to improve profitability.
