CSCMP and SupplyChainBrain launched this award in 2005 to highlight and recognize the top players in the supply chain industry when it comes to innovative programs, projects, and collaboration.
CSCMP receives around 45-50 submissions each year and a panel of reviewers consisting of members of the CSCMP Research Strategies Committee and the editorial board of SupplyChainBrain narrow down the submissions to the top innovative teams.
These teams become the finalists and they present their case studies at the CSCMP Annual Global Conference while the panel of judges evaluates the session as it happens live in front of the audience of conference attendees. The winner and runner up are selected and awarded at the closing session on Wednesday of the conference.
