Supply Chain Standard is Europe’s strategic supply chain management resource, providing
thought leadership, incisive comment and analysis from Europe’s leading experts on global
supply chain issues. Predominantly a digital brand, it encompasses a monthly digital
magazine, a weekly executive briefing email newsletter, daily breaking news and more
unique content on its web site.
The magazine launched The European Supply Chain Excellence awards in 1997 and has
continued to develop and refine the Awards over the past 12 years. This year we are again
delighted to be working in partnership with consultants PRTM.
Partners
PRTM Management Consultants are delighted to partner Supply Chain Standard for a third year
with the European Supply Chain Excellence Awards 2008. Ever since our founding in 1976, PRTM
has shone the spotlight on Operations – the component of the business world that often goes
unheralded. In the mid-1980s, in a series of executive seminars we conducted on behalf of the
then-fledgling American Electronics Association, we talked about a cross-functional set of
integrated processes that we called supply chain management. By the mid-1990s PRTM had led the
development of the Supply Chain Operations Reference-model (SCOR), now widely adopted by
industry through the Supply Chain Council. Since then we have worked on supply chain projects at
over 600 organisations across a broad spectrum of industries. We have helped some of the world’s
leading companies to turn their supply chains into sources of competitive advantage, with shorter
lead-times, higher levels of customer service and lower costs.
During this time PRTM has compiled what is generally acknowledged to be the most
comprehensive and leading database of supply chain benchmark information available today. Not
only are we able to benchmark the performance of a company’s supply chain, we are able to
benchmark the practices that lie behind it. This unique combination ensures that our clients are
able to rapidly apply the latest thinking to transform their supply chains to deliver competitive
advantage in the shortest possible time.
