Traditionally, the Hi-tech, Communications and Electronics category is the highest scoring sector, and this year certainly didn’t disappoint.
This year there were only two companies that met the strict criteria for reaching the shortlist in the Sourcing & Procurement category.
From a slow start a few years ago, the Contribution to Environmental Improvement category is now one of the most active, with a growing number of very worthy entries.
Exemplary customer service is central to supply chain excellence, and this Award certainly offered a fine selection of initiatives aimed at driving up customer satisfaction levels.
As may have been expected, the Logistics & Fulfilment category received a great number of entries again this year – and hence, the shortlist was long, making the judges’ task that much harder.
The second of the Innovation categories considered the wider, more strategic, supply chain innovations that have been deployed to best effect.
Innovation is always a difficult category for the judges – mainly because it’s difficult to determine what an innovative step is, exactly, as opposed to the application of known technology or methods.
The Individual Contribution Award is unique in that the winner is chosen by a vote of the readers of Supply Chain Standard.
