Awards Announced at Annual Global Supply Chain Summit, October 25
SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Electronics
Supply & Manufacturing today announced the winners of its 2005
Supply & Design Chain Champions Awards at the Global Supply
Chain Summit taking place at the Fairmont Hotel San Jose. Every
year, Electronics Supply & Manufacturing solicits nominations
from readers, and its editors review and select five outstanding
case studies for publication in the November 2005 issue. This
year's Champions are IBM Corp., Jabil Circuit Inc., Logitech
International SA, CSS Laboratories Inc. and Samsung Electronics
Co., Ltd. -- all of which have risen to the challenge of tackling
major supply and design chains challenges and are being recognized
for their best-in-class performance. The five companies were
honored at a keynote luncheon on Tuesday, October 25 at the Global
Supply Chain Summit. Nominations for the Supply & Design Chain
Champions began early in 2005 with a call for nominations to
readers, who were asked to provide detailed reasons for their
nominations and provide supporting data including information on
goals achieved. In addition to the traditional financial and
business metrics, nominees were also selected on product innovation
and management teams that challenge conventional wisdom, setting
the example for their peers both within their own companies and
across the industry. "This year's winners are champions not because
they have found the definitive solution to intractable supply and
design chain problems, but because they are all innovators and are
out in front of the curve with their supply and design chain
practices," said Bruce Rayner, editor-in-chief of Electronics
Supply & Manufacturing. "All five Champions have attributes in
common, like their desire to challenge the status quo, and be
decisive, developing a strategy, communicating it effectively and
then implementing with precision." The five winners of this year's
Champions Awards are: -- IBM Corp.: the world's largest information
technology company with operations spanning hardware, software
applications and consulting -- Jabil Circuit Inc.: an electronic
