The application period for the 2013 Institute for Supply Management™ — Michigan State University Awards for Excellence in Supply Management has ended. Winning organizations will be notified in January 2013.
The number and quality of applications received for the Institute for Supply Management™ — Michigan State University Awards for Excellence in Supply Management in past years has been impressive. It is clear that the supply profession continues to grow in importance and sophistication, making substantial contributions to the overall success of the organization.
Because of the critical role of supply management, businesses survive and thrive only when each supply chain is carefully and creatively managed. Foremost in the profession are individuals and organizations that embrace leadership and creativity to manage complexity and risk. This eighth annual announcement and call for entries will build on the strong showing of previous years and provide examples of innovation and leadership that can be used throughout the profession to enhance performance, reduce expenses, increase profit and ensure increased revenue.
A group of well-known supply management executives and academics set policy and direction for the awards with a vision to "create a prestigious supply management awards program to recognize leadership and innovation in supply management and further the understanding and importance of supply management to business success."
For the 2013 awards, we are especially encouraging submissions that show supply management's significant contribution to top-line growth, and those that demonstrate mitigation and management of business risk.
Direct questions to Terri Tracey, CAE, Vice President, at 800/888-6276 or 480/752-6276, extension 3071.
