Throughout the last few years of economic, business and technological change, supply chains have proven to be resilient and able to meet the challenges posed by rising customer expectations and a less predictable business environment. Supply chain management (SCM) professionals have remained efficient and responsive. Company leaders who are able to communicate their significant and proven achievements can not only positively affect return on investment and performance at their own companies, they can also give back to the industry and to their peers by sharing their stories.
For nearly 20 years, supply chain teams worldwide have been submitting their cases to the Supply Chain Innovation Award™ (SCIA) for the opportunity to receive recognition from their industry peers on a global stage.
This award program receives submissions from creative innovators every year. A panel of reviewers, consisting of members of CSCMP's Research Strategies Committee (RSC) and the editorial board of SupplyChainBrain, review and select submissions of "Innovation in Action" from the top innovative teams who become the finalists that present their cases at CSCMP’s EDGE Conference.
If your supply chain team has developed some SCM collaborative innovation(s) that could help advance the overall supply chain profession, consider sharing your story through the Supply Chain Innovation Award™ competition.
The submission period for the 2023 Supply Chain Innovation Award runs from January 9 to March 15, 2023. Submit a case study.
2022 Supply Chain Innovation Award Winner
Holcim’s “Crisis as Innovation Catalyst” case study
Presented by Darren Oosthuizen, Senior Manager Transport Optimization - Corporate Logistics, Siddharth Pandey, Head - Transport Analytics Center (TAC) and Alexander Scheld, Global Head of Logistics.
This presentation explained how the pandemic increased uncertainty in supply chain & demand and data dependency to make decisions. In pre-covid times, experience driven decision was preferred over data driven analytics. This session explored the digital transformation journey of Holcim’s Transport Analytics Center. During the session, presenters discussed how data driven analytics can help an organization to increase road safety, boost efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and leverage new opportunities.
