EPCA commissioned Vlerick Business School in early 2017 to conduct a
research study and survey to get a better understanding of what the process
of *digitisation *means in practice for the European petrochemical supply
chain. The presentation of the initial results at the 51st EPCA Annual
Meeting in Berlin in October 2017 and the publication of the final report
in March 2018 revealed a strong interest for continued dialogue on the
subject among EPCA members. This encouraged *EPCA Supply Chain Program
Committee (SCPC) *to organise a follow-up workshop in June 2018 in
Brussels, in cooperation with Vlerick Business School, with the aim of
increasing participants’ understanding of digital transformation and its
relevance in the petrochemical supply chain, and to provide a forum for
discussing the tangible benefits of supply chain digitisation. The full
report of the EPCA Logistics and Supply Chain Workshop: *“Digitisation in
the Petrochemical Supply Chain**” *is available here.
