Logistics Hall of Fame
The Logistics Hall of Fame is a virtual hall of fame for personalities who have made exceptional contributions to the further development of logistics and supply chain management . The aim of the Logistics Hall of Fame is to document the milestones in logistics as a global platform and to honor their makers in order to underline the importance of logistics for business and society. The non-profit initiative is supported by politics, associations, media, logistics industry and science. The patronage is Andreas Scheuer , Federal Minister for Transport and Digital Infrastructure, Germany.
The Logistics Hall of Fame was initiated and founded on September 18, 2003 by the editor-in-chief of the logistics business magazine Logistik inside and the weekly VerkehrsRundschau , Anita Würmser.
Admission rules and choice
Men and women of all ages can be admitted to the Logistics Hall of Fame if they have made a decisive contribution to the development of logistics through a social, organizational, technical, scientific or business performance that has been carried out or is responsible for.
