Symposium on all aspects of the supply chain
ifm SUCCESS DAYS

AFTER THE SUCCESS DAYS IS BEFORE THE SUCCESS DAYS!
Supply Chain Transparency – Make the Unseen Seen
This was the motto of this year's Supply Chain Conference in Siegen.
Transparency was the buzzword of the day: it was all about recognising things, making the previously invisible visible, and using this newly created transparency to achieve greater accountability and reliability in business!
Our duo of moderators provide an introduction to the topic in the video. Enjoy!

ifm SCM Award
Since 2012, the award has been presented to ifm customers who have excelled in special projects related to ifm supply chain software.
Although the face of the award has changed with the name change from GIB to ifm, the message remains the same: ‘If you want the award, you have to prove your success in pieces, euros and minutes.’
