Annual Global Conference 2008 – Supply Chain Management Educators’ Conference (SCMEC) Agenda

Held annually on the Sunday prior to the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals' annual conference, SCMEC affords academics and researchers the opportunity to submit their current research for consideration and presentation at this prestigious event. The conference, open to all academics and annual conference attendees, offers informative and interactive sessions while providing an excellent venue for networking with colleagues from around the globe.

E. Grosvenor Plowman Award

From among those papers accepted for presentation at SCMEC, the best research is selected by the Editorial Review Panel to be awarded the distinguished E. Grosvenor Plowman Award.

The Plowman Award is given in honor of E. Grosvenor Plowman, a lifetime supporter of both CSCMP and the logistics profession. Since its inception over thirty years ago, the award has been offered annually. Originally contributed by the Council's Transportation Research Fund, the monetary award for the winning paper has increased from $500 in 1971 to the current sum of $1,000.

Plowman recipients are invited to present their research at SCMEC. The award winner(s) is recognized for his/her contributions during the opening session of SCMEC.

The 2007 recipients of the E. Grosvenor Plowman Award are: Yuliang Oliver Yao, Lehigh University and Martin Dresner and Yan Dong, University of Maryland for their paper, Managing Supply Chain Backorders Under Vendor Managed Inventory: An Incentive Approach and Empirical Analysis.
