SCIP Swire SITA Waste Services and Siveco China have been jointly nominated for the Green Supply Chain Award in Asia 2009 for their CMMS project. The awards are presented by the Global Supply Chain Council, Asia's largest supply chain organization. Each year, the awards recognize the importance of supply chain, procurement and logistics excellence, by identifying and rewarding outstanding performance among leading manufacturers, retailers, service providers and key individuals working in Asia.

 
While other organizations tend to give away awards to vendors based on their 'level of sponsorship', the CHaINA Awards aim to recognize and applaud the end-users and practitioners working in the supply chain profession and the selection process is done in a totally sponsorship-free environment. "The jury had a difficult task selecting from numerous submissions of great merit. We thank all the participants. Our warmest congratulations go to all nominees." say Max Henry, Founder of the Global Supply Chain Council. For more information about this year's Asia Supply Chain Awards nominees: 。

SCIP Swire SITA Waste Services operates the largest and most sophisticated chemical waste incinerator in mainland China. The company is a critical element in the supply chain of giant chemical producers located in the park, which rely on the incinerator to burn hazardous by-products according to European standards. General Manager Philippe Allouche commented: "From day one, we recognized maintenance as a key success factor for our project. The COSWIN Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) was implemented before startup. The system allowed us to manage safety right from the commissioning stage, by enforcing a strict work process. The CMMS is used to educate and organize our team and to support management decisions. Reliability is the key to our business, serving chemical plants in the area, whose own operation could be affected by a prolonged downtime of our facility. Four years down the line, we have succeeded in creating a true culture of maintenance in our Chinese operation: maintenance is under full control, regardless of the inevitable personnel changes."

 
Bruno Lhopiteau, General Manager of Siveco China, added: "We are very proud to receive this nomination together with SCIP Swire SITA Waste Services. We have, over the years, achieved very good results together, thanks to the clear vision of their management and the hard work of their team. To me, this nomination is also a clear sign that the Chinese market is starting to recognize the importance of maintenance as part of the supply chain and its impact on construction, work safety, environmental compliance, etc. For this, SCIP Swire SITA Waste Services, a flagship project for environmental protection in China, is an excellent role model."
