Industry experts will address the most pressing issues and solutions for effective logistics management in the mining industry at the 2nd Annual Global Logistics in Mining Forum on 12-13 November 2013 in Johannesburg, South Africa.<\/p>\n
Industrial organisations have realised the importance and implications of timely delivery and cost management not only from the start of the manufacturing process but right from the time the raw materials are sourced. The flow of all required resources from the point of origin and the delivery of the finished product to the point of consumption has to be closely monitored as it involves a considerable amount of costs and time constraints.<\/p>\n
Effective supply chain management has gained a lot of relevance, especially in the mining industry, given the large quantities of raw materials, equipment involved, and also the hazardous nature of the product. Along with these costs, come the huge opportunities to reduce them by way of devising a more efficient logistics infrastructure.<\/p>\n
Home to one of the world\u2019s largest mining sector, South African mining companies have started shifting their focus towards effective logistics management. Primary focus is being laid on ensuring timely and cost-effective flow of all resources to and from the mining site.<\/p>\n
Keeping in line with this industry trend, Fleming Gulf Conferences is organising the 2nd Annual Global Logistics in Mining Forum on 12-13 November 2013. Held last year in London, UK, the conference brought together heads of logistics and supply chain from top mining companies. This year, the event will be take place in Johannesburg, South Africa, known for the deepest mines in the world.<\/p>\n
This forum will delve into key strategies to improve transport infrastructure, explore logistics management to and from remote locations, supplier risk management and also the latest trends in inventory and warehouse management. This forum will feature top mining experts like Eileen Madden Mitchell, Freeport-McMoRan Copper Gold Inc. (USA), Director Global Supply Chain Logistics; Nosipho Damasane, Richards Bay Coal Terminal (South Africa), Chief Executive Officer; Braam Uys, Rio Tinto (South Africa), General Manager, Service Delivery Area; Leroy Musa Nsibande, Arcelor Mittal (South Africa), Group Manager Logistics; Renato Torres, Rio Tinto (France), Port and Rail Manager; among many others.<\/p>\n
This conference will be attended by the decision makers from global mining companies and will provide two days of industry specific information along with the opportunity to network and exchange business ideas with the corporate leaders of the mining industry.<\/p>\n
