Innovation rewarded by Coca-Cola Amatil in Supplier of the Year Award


In recognition of its contribution to the success of Coca-Cola Amatil’s (CCA) new distribution centre (DC) at Eastern Creek in western Sydney, equipment supplier Dematic was presented with the Innovation Award in the beverage distributor’s inaugural Supplier of the Year Awards.
 
Celebrating the outstanding performance of CCA’s top suppliers, the new national awards program is designed to improve suppliers’ understanding of CCA’s business across all functions to enhance and facilitate innovation and continual improvement.
 
The awards recognise excellence in six categories: Account Management, At Work Business Partner, Customer Service, Innovation, Process Improvement and Sustainability. An overall CCA Supplier of the Year was also selected, with this award going to packaging supplier Visy.
 
The winners were announced at an award ceremony and dinner held at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney. CCA group managing director, Terry Davis, and managing director of Australian Beverages, Warwick White, spoke about the importance of the relationship between CCA and suppliers, and pledged to provide external support to valued partners, including references for and advertisements endorsing the 2009 CCA Supplier of the Year award winners.
 
Dematic was represented at the awards by CEO Glen Borg and industry logistics manager David Rubie.
 
“For Dematic to be recognised as the best from amongst hundreds of CCA suppliers in such a highly contested category, is an outstanding achievement,” said Mr Rubie.
 
“The excellent results being achieved at the Eastern Creek DC were only made possible thanks to the incredible support we received from the various Dematic and CCA project teams throughout the design, development and implementation phases of the project,” he said.
 
The CCA award is the second time the Eastern Creek DC has received recognition, with the site winning the prestigious Manufacturing Logistics Award in last year’s Supply Chain & Logistics Association of Australia’s national awards.
 
CCA Eastern Creek DC
 
The Eastern Creek DC services CCA’s 14,000 Route Trade customers in New South Wales from Bega to Coffs Harbour, a territory spanning about 1,000 km.
 
Route Trade customers range from corner stores and convenience shops through to service stations, small grocery and fresh food outlets, as well as an increasing number of liquor shops and wholesalers, and account for close to half of CCA’s throughput during the summer peak.
 
Within just eight weeks of operation, CCA was achieving record-breaking productivity rates of more than 1,400 picks/hour at the Eastern Creek DC thanks to a world-first order picking methodology developed by Dematic.
