What does it take to win?
Entrants are asked to provide the judges with a lot of information. In some cases where the judges feel they don’t have enough information – they go back and ask for more. Those entrants thatmake it through to the
final are invited to make a presentation to the judges and answer questions. In this process the judges look for five common characteristics of high performing supply chains – the five core disciplines. These are: 1. Does your supply chain help to deliver competitive advantage to your company – or is it a cost of doing business? 2. Are your processes and systems streamlined and integrated across the end-to- end supply chain – or are they complex and fragmented? 3. Is the supply chain organisation structured

and staffed for success – or is it an admin function staffed with the dead weights? 4.Have you built a collaborative operating model with a clear understanding of your core competencies – or are you a jack of all trades and a master of none? 5.Have you a clear understanding of how to measure success and is the organisation incentivised to deliver it – or do you measure everything and do nothing with it? If the entry was for a special category – for example Sourcing and Procurement, or Customer Service there is less emphasis given to the core disciplines and more emphasis to the relative performance and achievement of each of the finalists. In addition, the judges give special attention to the demonstration of innovation and the commitment, passion and enthusiasm of entrants.
