Austrian logistics prize 2015 awarded to kraft paper brand Starkraft

For the seventh time, VNL (Verein Netzwerk Logistik) has awarded the Austrian Logistics Prize at the gala evening of the Austrian Logistics Day event on 24 June 2015. The prize in the category “Realignment of the supply chain”, for the best innovative overall solution was awarded to Zellstoff Pöls/Business Unit Starkraft.
First, the project was reviewed by the jury and subjected to a cost-benefit analysis. The second measure was a visit of the jurors to Starkraft, to see the solution in a working day environment, in particular the innovative solution for order management, PM2 planning and trim optimization, as well as the supply chain management from start to finish.
