The metals and mining industry has been impacted by the recent shift in demand patterns and as a result operations are more focused on highly volatile emerging markets while growth in the developed economies has slowed down.

The industry which in the past focused mainly on increasing asset utilization is now facing newer challenges thanks to globalization:

• What is the best way to setup a new mining operation and the associated network of facilities?
• What is the right sourcing strategy for reducing production costs?
• How to achieve increase visibility over a distributed supply chain for efficient coordination and quicker response?
• How to mitigate risks related to increasingly volatile market conditions?
