HEUTE, and consultants from PWC Management Consulting.
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 20 – 21, 2018 at Hypermotion, Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
The winners are chosen live in Frankfurt. The winners of the Supply Chain Management Award 2018 and the special prize “Smart Supply Chain Solution 2018” will be announced as highlight of the Award Night on November 21, 2018. And celebrated.

The expert jury
The expert jury is as unique as the concept of the Supply Chain
Management Award.
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.
The applicants

well as global enterprises.
All the companies have one thing in common: They place a premium on
