SupplyChainForesight: SA businesses perception of rail

Since its inception in 2003, the annual supplychainforesight report takes a view each year on the burning issues in South Africa’s supply chains, analysing insider industry views on everything from the economic crisis to green supply chains. It includes a trend analysis of objectives and challenges for the country’s supply chains, as well as CEOs views, and, alongside the overall freely published report, separate reports on supply chain issues in key industries. The presentation will cover SA businesses perception of rail and will highlight the crucial role that rail can play in assisting SA companies, industries and the country as a whole become more competitive in the future.”
