06 SCS:AWARDS 2009
Last chance to
enter the Awards
This year has seen supply chains come under
even more intense scrutiny as companies
look not only for savings but also for ways
to build competitive advantage in more difficult
markets. In this environment, The European
Supply Chain Excellence Awards have become
more important than ever.
We have already had a bumper entry for this
year’s awards and we know that there are more
working on their entries so we have extended
thedeadlinetoFriday3rdJuly.
So, if you have not already started the entry
process, you now have time – but you will have to
move quickly to meet the new deadline.
The entry and judging process is designed to
benchmark and reward organisations in Europe that
demonstrate measurable superiority within their supply
chain operations. This rigorous process gives the
Awards an unassailable prestige within the industry that
attracts entries from Europe’s leading corporations. But
we are not just looking for large organisations – smaller
companies are just as capable of displaying supply
chain virtuosity.
Do the efforts of your supply chain
team deserve recognition?

The 9th annual
European Supply
Chain Excellence
Awards is now open
for entry and offers an outstanding
opportunity to recognise the progress
you have made in improving the
performance of your supply chain.
Covering six industry sectors and four
special categories, plus the team of the year,
the awards are unparalleled in their ability
to attract entries from some of Europe’s
leading companies, whilst offering the
opportunity to everyone to benchmark
their performance using PRTM’s Five Core
Discipline framework.
Even if you don’t believe that you excel in
every dimension of your supply chain, the
special award categories allow you to enter
on the basis of a set of narrower parameters.
We assess every entry both qualitatively
and quantitatively. Our benchmark
database is generally acknowledged to be
the best in the business and for the industry
sector entries we also assess each entry
against the five core disciplines that drive
superior supply chain performance.
We firmly believe that the best supply
chains contribute to competitive advantage.
However, we also understand that driving
supply chain improvement sometimes feels
like a never-ending task.
The European Supply Chain Excellence
Awards provide a unique opportunity to not
only see how well your supply chain
compares with others, but for the finalists
and winners provides a fantastic
opportunity to recognise the efforts and
achievements of your team.
Go on – enter now, you’ve got nothing to
lose and an enormous amount to gain!
