Speaker: Dr. John Romagna, Senior Vice President, Luen Thai Group                                                    


Abstract -
Integration is a process by which parts of a whole become less part and more whole. Supply chain integration is a process in which the companies which are trading partners in a “supply chain” collaboratively reengineer across themselves by changing who does what, how, when, and where - such that the whole raw materials-to-finished goods-to-customer process is faster, cheaper and better.   This talk will briefly summarizes such an effort in cross company reengineering to achieve “supply chain integration”, among Polo Ralph Lauren, one of the world’s most successful brands, Luen Thai, on of the world’s largest garment manufacturer’s, and Ruentex, on the world’s most sophisticated woven fabric suppliers. Enabling conditions, process, and outcomes/status are discussed.
