Supply Chain Masters very successful
Home
On the 5th of June 2008, the ex KLM Boeing 747 stationed et the Aviodrom in Lelystad, the Netherlands, was the venue for the Supply Chain Masters event on transportation with the subtitle of 'Trust and Transparency in the Supply Chain'. On opening the event, chairman Rens de Jong of Business News Radio said that “in the world of flying, everything revolves around trust and transparency”. The event was organized by TruEconomy Consulting in co-operation with Supply Chain Magazine.
“KLM built trust by having a good track record”, according to de Jong. He claims that trust is easily lost and that transparency is essential in building trust. “But do you want to be completely transparent?” An altered flight safety card showing what really would be happening in a plane crash, is highly transparent but will not build trust.Het Doel organized succesfull event at Super de Boer
