The Global OMP Expo 2024 – “Smart Manufacturing & Supply‑Chain Optimization” – is a premier international gathering that brings together industry leaders, technology innovators, and academic experts to explore the latest advances in operations‑management planning (OMP) and digital transformation across manufacturing, logistics, and distribution networks. Hosted at the state‑of‑the‑art convention centre in the heart of the city, the three‑day event (15 – 17 May 2024) offers a dynamic platform for professionals to discover cutting‑edge solutions, exchange best practices, and forge strategic partnerships that drive efficiency, resilience, and sustainability in today’s complex supply‑chain ecosystems.

The expo’s programme is built around four thematic pillars:

1. Advanced Planning & Scheduling – Sessions focus on AI‑driven demand forecasting, real‑time production scheduling, and the integration of finite‑capacity planning tools that enable manufacturers to respond swiftly to market fluctuations while minimizing waste.

2. Digital Twin & Simulation – Attendees will explore how virtual replicas of factories and logistics networks can be leveraged to test scenarios, optimise resource allocation, and predict bottlenecks before they materialise on the shop floor.

3. Supply‑Chain Visibility & Collaboration – Panels discuss the role of cloud‑based platforms, blockchain, and IoT connectivity in creating end‑to‑end transparency, facilitating seamless information exchange between suppliers, carriers, and customers.

4. Sustainability & Circular Economy – Thought‑leaders present strategies for reducing carbon footprints, implementing closed‑loop processes, and aligning operational planning with ESG objectives.

Keynote presentations are delivered by renowned visionaries, including the Chief Innovation Officer of a leading global OEM, the founder of a fast‑growing supply‑chain analytics start‑up, and a senior researcher from a top engineering university. Their insights set the stage for deep‑dive workshops, live product demonstrations, and interactive case‑study labs where participants can apply new methodologies to real‑world challenges.

The exhibition floor hosts over 120 exhibitors showcasing the full spectrum of OMP technologies: advanced ERP modules, cloud‑native planning engines, robotic process automation tools, and next‑generation analytics dashboards. Dedicated demo zones allow visitors to experience hands‑on trials, compare solution architect
