Qld Supply Chain and Logistics Awards opens nominations

Nominations are now invited for the annual Queensland Supply Chain and Logistics Awards.

Presented by The Supply Chain & Logistics Association of Australia, Queensland Division, in conjunction with All Purpose Transport and Leadership Management Australia (LMA), the awards will be presented during the 2016 Queensland Supply Chain & Logistics Conference.

The awards will be divided into five categories:

Queensland Future Leaders Award will recognise a young professional pursuing a career within the supply chain, logistics and transport industry. The winner will be awarded an enrolment into Leadership Management Australia’s ‘The Performance Edge’ 10-week development program valued at $5000.

Queensland Industry Excellence Award acknowledges the outstanding achievements and contribution by an individual who has demonstrated vision and leadership, shows innovation and is not afraid to take risks.

Queensland Supply Chain Management Award aims to encourage and acknowledge the outstanding achievement of an organisation in managing the integration of supply chains. This could be functional integration within an organisational supply chain, or more widely across supply chains involving several organisations that have formed trading partnerships or alliances. Collaboration and added value across the supply chain, achievements gained through outsourcing and the development of new business models could also be demonstrated.

Queensland Training, Education & Development Award will be presented to the company or institution that best demonstrates a significant achievement in aspects such as recruitment process, training, HR systems, formal education and development programs both relevant to and promoting the supply chain and logistics industry.

Queensland Information Management Award will go to the business that can best demonstrate it has made a significant achievement in the application of information technology within its supply chain.

Nominations are due by 8 July. To find out more about the awards, email qld@sclaa.com.au.
