How It Works

  • You will receive regular on-line updates of User Group activities.
  • At least two major User Group conferences each year, usually in the Spring and Autumn.
  • Access to a discussion forum.
  • Access to Special Interest Groups. These have been formed to offer members the opportunity to exchange information on more focused themes and provide an alternative route for problem resolution. These groups meet more frequently, each group determining its own schedules.

Groups currently active include :-

 
  • Finance
  • Technical
  • Manufacturing
 
  • Supply chain
  • BPCS CD

In addition there are Special Groups which have been formed specifically to address wider, more strategic issues within particular industry sectors:-

 
  • Automotive
  • Pharmaceutical
  • Consumer Packaged Goods (including food and beverages.)
The group is financially and organisationally independent and is run by a permanent co-ordinator who is responsible for all membership administration, arranging of conferences, web site updates, the setting up and organising of the Special Interest Groups and liaison with SSAGT for progressing product and service issues.
