Conceived, developed and supported by experts in supply chain management, it is a spectacular, educational and enriching management competition. Each participating company forms a team that is responsible for the management of the virtual juice producer, The Fresh Connection. The goal is to save The Fresh Connection from collapse. The teams must make both strategic and tactical decisions. Each week the intelligent software behind the simulation calculates the consequences of the teams’ decisions. The team that scores the highest return on investment become Supply Chain Champions. The Fresh Connection started in 2008 as a national competition among more than 1,000 supply chain professionals in the Netherlands. The Fresh Connection UK is now in its second year. It is also being run in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, USA, Canada, South Africa and Australia, and the International finals will take place in September in Italy. The competition is a platform for increasing knowledge of supply chain strategies and demonstrates the impact of working as a team across the whole supply chain and the benefits this has on company performance. It takes up just a few hours a week over seven weekly rounds. Many top companies have already signed up for this competition, including Jordans & Ryvita, Tate & Lyle, La Palette Rouge, Kimberly Clark, Cath Kidston, Constellation Brands and Muller Dairies, to name but a few.
