The organizers, auditing committee, and members of the jury are also supply chainers through and through. That’s why they take such pleasure in creating a platform to celebrate new approaches that seek to manage the growing complexity of global supply chains.
On November 11, 2020, researchers and practitioners will meet for the 10 th annual Supply Chain Award Night to honor innovative projects that optimize the supply chain.
The finalists will be invited to present their concepts at the symposium “EXCHAiNGE – The Supply Chainers’ Community” on November 10, 2020.
The jury will be in the audience when the finalists present their solutions to the conference participants. Following the presentations, the jury will come together immediately in Frankfurt to select the winners of the Supply Chain Management Award 2020 as well as the Smart Solution Award 2020. In addition, all attending supply chain professionals may vote for their favorite Concept.
EXCHAiNGE also offers space for networking, ideas, themes, speakers, and discussion. The conference will take place on the 10th and 11th of November 2020 at the Hypermotion in Frankfurt am Main.
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 finalists are invited to present their ideas at EXCHAiNGE – the Supply Chainers’ Community November 10 – 11, 2020 at Hypermotion, Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
The winners are chosen live in Frankfurt. The winners of the Supply Chain Management Award 2020 and the Smart Solution Award 2020 will be announced as highlight of the Award Night on November 11, 2020 and celebrated!
The winners of the Supply Chain Management Award 2020 and the Smart Solution Award 2020 will be chosen live at the event. And in a one-of-a-kind twist, all the experts in attendance can add their votes as well. The results are then passed to the jury, which deliberates 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.
