Reacting to Market Changes:How to Anticipate and Where to Improve
The ability to react to stimuli in the market environment and the speed of this response are major industrial success factors. Several examples throughout the past decades have shown that improving reactivity continues to be a challenge within the aerospace and defence industry.
In this year’s Young Managers Conference the relevance of reactivity in today’s aerospace and defence industry will be discussed. The main objective of the conference will be to raise critical questions about how to improve reactivity while integrating several aspects into the discussion, such as:
the role of the customer in the product definition phase
programme management
concurrent engineering
the impact of outsourcing and subcontracting
time-to-market
product obsolescence
benchmarking with other industries
financial implications.
By inviting prestigious speakers from different areas of the aerospace and defence industry, as well as other industries, the Young Managers Conference 2007 aims to provide a platform for the discussion of this important issue.
At the EADS Young Managers Conference 2007, every aspect of industry will be represented, from industrial partners, sub-contractors, to business service providers and members of the financial world. This will provide a positive and creative environment, contrasting diversity with common objectives and perspectives, to give a greater understanding of reactivity. As a participant of the Young Managers Conference 2007 you will have the chance to contribute to the discussion by sharing your ideas during the panel discussion.
We look forward to welcoming you in Paris.
