Supply Chain Awards

The Supply Chain Management Award is given by Strategy& and PwC, the strategy consultancy of PwC, and the journal LOGISTIK HEUTE of HUSS-VERLAG, Munich, for the 17 th time in 2022. Presiding over this year’s award ceremony is Steffen Bilger MdB, Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure.

The respected Supply Chain Management Award recognizes outstanding and implemented supply chain management concepts that are game-changing for other companies as well. It acknowledges solutions that help improve competitiveness and are game-changing for other companies.

The process of evaluating the submissions plays a pivotal role. In recognition of this significance, the auditing committee is composed of representatives of the trade journal LOGISTIK HEUTE, and consultants from Strategy& and PwC.

The experts begin by evaluating the submitted entries and identifying the best ideas. The next step is to visit and interview the companies with outstanding ideas. Only after all questions have been answered does the committee decide on the finalists.

The most convincing applicants met for the finalist pitches on November 16. In the final round, the companies presented their concepts live to the jury.

At the awards ceremony, which followed on November 18, the curtain was ceremoniously raised. The winners were officially recognized for their winning concepts. The event participants and the award winners were also able to enjoy an exciting keynote address, laudators and exchanges within the supply chain community at the award ceremony.

The winners of the Supply Chain Management Award 2021 and the Smart Solution Award 2021 were chosen live at the online event. And in a one-of-a-kind twist, all the experts in attendance could add their votes as well. The results were then passed to the jury, which deliberated right then and there.

The expert jury is as unique as the concept of the Supply Chain Awards.

It complements the auditing committee and is composed of people who work in the field – supply chain experts in industrial enterprises, academics, consultants, and representatives of the trade media.

This ensures that all perspectives of the supply chain are represented.

Past applicants have included small and medium-sized businesses as well as global enterprises.

All the companies have one thing in common: They place a premium on an optimized supply chain, which is key to their success.

But another critical ingredient is the passion that the supply chainers bring to the table to make their new ideas and challenging concepts come alive.
