Winners 2015
The European Gold Medal in Logistics and Supply Chain “Project of the year 2015” as well as ‘Best presentation’ goes to Nestlé-Pepsico (BE)
Creation of a horizontal collaboration community for fresh & chilled food distribution between Pepsico and Nestlé
The goal of the project was to develop and implement a special strategic collaboration aspect of supply chain between companies that are basically big competitors of each other. This is the cooperation that many have talked about but very few have put the ideas into practice.
With the fundamental help of the trustee and the IT company, involving the necessary legal partners, one can see a special holistic view where aspects such as trust, gain sharing, as well as technical ones have been taken into account.
This very successful project is a real best practice case to be followed by others! Clearly shows that based on honest relationship how competitors can find the common and best way to reach their own goals together with solutions to the environmental challenges as well.
The nice results, savings and comprehensive solutions guarantee the long term life of this collaboration.
Based on these advantages, success and comprehensive solutions the jury has nominated the Nestlé-Pepsico project to be the winner of
