Posted on: Friday, 23 May 2008, 15:00 CDT

EXTON, Pa., May 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Elemica, Inc., the industry-leading business process network for the external supply chain, announces that Rick Bushnell, VP of Sales and Marketing at Elemica will conduct a workshop titled, "Optimize Business Excellence Across the Supply Chain," on Friday, May 30, 2008, at the Advanced Chemical Conference in Houston, TX. Rick's talk will explore the use of "touchless order" strategies for managed inventory of existing electronic tank levels, rail car locations or demand plans to automatically place the right order - at the right time - into your business system's ERP. This easy change results in significantly reduced transaction processing costs, improved responsiveness to customers, and enables collaboration among global trading partners.

"Many companies haven't realized the benefits of utilizing a business process network for efficient execution of multi-enterprise operational processes, including order management, logistics management, automated shipping and receiving, etc.," said Mike McGuigan, CEO and president of Elemica, Inc. "Our clients have realized there is a better way to manage replenishment faster and more cost effectively while enhancing customer satisfaction."

Chemical company executives understand that in order to remain competitive in the global market they must continuously capitalize on best practices that increase productivity, streamline operations, and maximize capital investments on existing assets. The Advanced Chemical Conference, held at the Omni Houston at the Westside in Houston, Texas on May 29th and 30th, showcases numerous solutions to help meet this goal. Elemica will demonstrate their Business Process Network solutions for order management, customer replenishment, and logistics at the event. Other companies showcasing their solutions include SAP America, ABB, BlueCielo ESM, and SAT Corporation.

Rick Bushnell's presentation is part of the Supply Chain Management track and will be held in the Texas Ball Room I on Friday, May 30th, from 1:30 - 2:30 p.m. Attendees will walk away knowing how to enhance on-time deliveries, decrease replenishment time, improve order accuracy, reduce inventory cycle times, and discover the benefits of integrating the plant through the warehouse to the client.
