Nominations for CSCMP's 2015 Distinguished Service Award will be accepted through April 30, 2015.
Receiving CSCMP's Distinguished Service Award (DSA) is a little bit like being inducted into the Supply Chain Hall of Fame. Past winners include such luminaries as the late Don Bowersox, who literally wrote the book on supply chain management; H. Lee Scott Jr., who rose from the logistics and transportation department at Wal-Mart to become the retailing giant's president and chief executive officer; and Joe Andraski, who advocated for greater trading partner collaboration at both Nabisco and the Voluntary Interindustry Commerce Solutions (VICS) industry association.
Do you know a current supply chain superstar who is qualified to join their ranks? Then consider nominating him or her for the 2015 Distinguished Service Award. Nominations are due by April 30, 2015.
The DSA is given to an academic, consultant, or practitioner who exemplifies sustained, consistent, and excellent service to the discipline of supply chain management. Nominees should meet five criteria:

A new series of guidebooks from the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) explains the what, why, and how of supply chain management while providing practical advice on implementing best practices.
By definition, logistics and supply chain management (SCM) cover a lot of territory. As a practitioner, you're expected to know something about everything—transportation, procurement, inventory, order fulfillment, customer service, and much more. Not only that, you're expected to understand how all these pieces fit together. A tall order, but a new series of guidebooks from the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) can help explain it all while providing practical advice on implementing best practices in your operation.
The "Definitive Guide" series covers the following subjects: integrated supply chain management, inventory management, manufacturing and service operations, order fulfillment and customer service, supply chain best practices, supply management and procurement, transportation, and warehousing.
Each book is designed to help readers master the subject and apply what they've learned in daily practice as well as in strategic and tactical planning and problem solving. The books also analyze current challenges and emerging trends in supply chain management and explain how to reduce costs while improving performance.
In addition, The Definitive Guide to Supply Chain Best Practices includes case studies that were specially commissioned by CSCMP for the series. Case study topics include supply chain collaboration, advanced forecasting, management of inventory through cash-to-cash cycles, and transportation optimization.
Each book is co-authored by CSCMP and an expert in the field and is published by Financial Times Press. The books can be purchased individually or as a set. For details, click here.
