Over 400 of Europe's leading supply chain executives attended the 12th European Supply Chain Excellence awards in London this year, highlighting the significance of supply chain innovation in 2009.
The awards recognised efforts made by companies making supply chains greener and more efficient - two hot topics for the year ahead.
As consumers become more demanding of their products and global factors continue to add strain to the operation of most companies, supply chains are becoming increasingly important to many businesses.
Reassessing a supply chain can cut a business' costs as well as improve efficiency.
A supply chain management company can help businesses improve their standing in any sector by making their supply chains more responsive to market trends, thereby giving companies the competitive edge when it is needed the most.
Supply chain management companies also offer businesses the opportunity to make their product greener, as reassessing delivery and manufacturing decisions could reduce the CO2 emissions of many companies.
