Unconventional Logistics

The 2nd edition of the Wincanton Academic Logistics League has been concluded. The winner is the TRANSLOG team from the Gdynia Maritime University, which defeated 28 student logistics teams from all over Poland.

Unconventional Logistics

On December 2nd and 3rd, 2010, the final conference of the Wincanton Academic Logistics League (ALL Wincanton) was held at the University of Economics in Katowice, where the six best teams, selected in online eliminations, met. The final task was to present an idea for an unconventional logistics service. Among the proposed solutions were such innovative concepts as: order picking and delivery to a designated location while shopping in malls; “eco-tourism,” i.e., battery-powered travel based on a network of electric car rentals in large cities; or “Eco Returns,” consisting of collecting used products and waste for reuse and delivery to the manufacturer. The finalists’ presentations were evaluated by a jury consisting of academic staff from the University of Economics in Katowice: Prof. Danuta Kempny, Prof. Jacek Szołtysek, Dr. Krzysztof Niestrój, and Sebastian Twaróg, M.Sc., as well as practitioners from the logistics operator Wincanton: Grzegorz Zakrzewski – HR Director, Mariusz Rosołowski – Logistics Solutions Design and Customer Development Manager, and Marek Palędzki – Director of the Wincanton branch in Sosnowiec. The jury unanimously awarded first place to the TRANSLOG team from the Gdynia Maritime University. Second place went to the KNML JIT 2 team from the Angelus Silesius State School of Higher Education in Wałbrzych, and third place went to the representatives of ProLog from the Poznań University of Economics. The final rounds of ALL Wincanton also featured teams: LANISTAS from the Lodz University of Technology, KNLgroup from the Poznan University of Technology, and KNML JIT 1 from the Angelus Silesius State School of Higher Education in Wałbrzych. The participants competed not only for the title of the best student logistics team in Poland but also for valuable prizes – paid internships at any chosen Wincanton Poland branch, participation in logistics workshops for the Wincanton Logistics Forum management staff, as well as valuable gifts. During the final conference, ALL Wincanton participants also took part in training sessions organized by Wincanton, the National Chamber of Tax Advisors, and enjoyed an integration party. Partners of the 2nd edition of ALL Wincanton were the Silesian Branch of the National Chamber of Tax Advisors, the Student Parliament of the UE in Katowice, and the Poziom 3 pub. Media patronage over ALL Wincanton 2010 was provided by magazines – Polska Gazeta Transportowa, Magazynowanie i Dystrybucja, Top Logistyk, radio stations – Radio Kampus and Radio Express, and internet portals – Moje Miasto Silesia (mmsilesia.pl), Studentnews.pl, and the Financial Portal GB.pl.
