In these modern times, the challenges facing defence manufacturers are becoming ever more demanding! With growing environmental restrictions, economic slowdown, diminishing budgets & resources, increasing R&D costs and spiralling overheads, manufacturers need to reduce costs throughout their supply chains, whilst maintaining, and exceeding quality, in order to remain profitable.

The Defence Manufacturing Summit brings together the leading players in the industry to discuss how they are tackling these and other pressing challenges. They will share their revolutionary new technologies, proven best practices and the emerging trends they have identified.

Successful Lean techniques which work in practice
Advances In Supply Chain Management technologies with bottom line results
The Future Of Virtual Manufacturing - soon to make traditional methods obsolete?
The Future Of The European Defence Policy and its impact on global spending and competition
Centralised Procurement and the options it provides the new Europe
Collaborative Alliances - The pros and cons
Managing the complexities of International Knowledge, and overcoming boundaries associated with multicultural Co-development
Reusing existing technologies across multiple sectors successfully and profitably.
