Shay Sidner Wins Rising Star Supply Chain at Automotive Global Awards

ShaySidner.jpgflexis North America, Inc. Director of Operations Shay Sidner was recently recognized as a Rising Star Supply Chain at the 2016 Automotive Global Awards - North America conference in Las Vegas.   

This distinction, which is awarded annually by the automotive industry advocacy organization, Three6Zero, honors Sidner’s continuing efforts on the importance of interconnectivity and transparency within the supply chain, particularly in the areas of combining information about orders and materials while simultaneously connecting demand with inventory and transportation requirements.

In addition, Sidner was also recognized for her work in encouraging companies to become more efficient, innovative and competitive in their supply chain processes, and to place an emphasis on effective supply chain optimization to enable intelligent manufacturing and to minimize operating risks in a global network.

 “It is such an honor to be nominated for the Raising Star Supply Chain award and to be chosen as the recipient by such a distinguished and accomplished group,” said Sidner, who also credits her colleagues at flexis with pushing to strive for continued excellence.

“Receiving this award exemplifies the knowledge, dedication, and support provided by my colleagues at flexis who work constantly to keep up with the rapid evolution of technology, to understand the challenges and complexities of today’s supply chain, and to work closely with our customers to bridge those into innovative processes and solutions.”

Sidner also credits Three6Zero and similar organizations in the Automotive Industry with promoting collaboration, innovation, and information sharing among industry leaders to help ferry advancements in the supply chain sector from concept to reality.  For her, conferences such as this are key in driving a more broadened vision of supply logistics on a global level. 

A highly-regarded supply chain expert, Sidner has more than 10 years experience with supply chain optimization and solutions. Her career has largely been focussed on ensuring manufacturing companies who partner with flexis function as efficiently and profitably as possible.

This award is the second Sidner has received in 2016 for her work within the supply chain industry. She was recognized in February as a ‘Pro to Know’ by the demand and supply chain publication Supply & Demand Chain Executive.
