Supply Chain Council (SCC) and the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association(AAIA) have established a special Industry Group to develop supply-chain best practices, performance measures and implementation guidelines for automotive aftermarket supply chains. This initiative will help operations managers in the automotive aftermarket leverage the Supply Chain Operations Reference model (SCOR®) to drive long-term improvements in the end-to-end supply chains of their companies.

Supply Chain Council (SCC) will hold this year’s Global Awards for Excellence Ceremony during the Supply Chain World Europe conference in Munich Germany just before the evening reception on 25 October 2010. Due to this ceremony time change, submissions will still be accepted for all categories (except the U.S. Department of Defense Operational) until 31 March 2010. DoD submissions remain due by March 1.
