Court of Experts
Supply Chain Court of Experts
In
June 2001, Joe Aherne, chairperson of the Leading Edge Group,
launched a major new initiative, the formation of the Supply
Chain Court of Experts, comprised of the leading supply
chain professionals in industry
Operations Court of Experts
Such was the positive reaction from professionals
involved in this specialist field, that key practitioners from Industry were prompted
to launch a sister organisation, the ‘Operations
Court of Experts’ (OCE), earlier this year.
How Do You become a Member?
Each of the Courts of Experts has two categories
of dues-paying membership. An annual subscription
of 1,500 Euro is charged to cover administration costs
of these non-profit bodies.
The membership categories are:
(1) End User/Practitioner Membership (Voting Member):
Membership is confined to representatives of selected
companies. One qualified representative from the member
organisation will be listed as a member of the Court
of Experts.
(2) Academic/Consortium Membership (Non-voting):
This membership category applies to accredited Universities,
Colleges and other academic organisations which teach
and/or carry out research in Supply Chain / Operations
Management.
The membership of both organisations is very impressive,
including amongst their ranks, Pfizer’s, Wyeth,
Intel, NCR, Amersham, Stryker, Microsoft, DHL, Green Isle Foods, Modus Media, Waterford
Wedgwood, Banta Global Turnkey, Roche and many many
more.
Aherne comments ‘we need to continue to build
our membership base and support all sectors
of Industry. We would therefore welcome membership
requests from companies who can contribute to the
growth and prosperity of these voluntary associations
and together help to make a positive difference to
global competitiveness”. |
