Winners of the 2025 POMS College of SCM Best Student Paper Competition

The organizing committee received 40 submissions for the 2025 POMS College of Supply Chain Management (SCM) Student Paper Competition. We thank all the participants for their submissions. We used a two-round process to select the winners for the competition. In the first round, each submission was evaluated by two reviewers who were experts in the paper's subject matter and had no conflict of interest. Chairs were not involved in the referee assignment of papers that they have conflict of interest. A total of five finalists were selected based on these evaluations. In the second round, each of the five finalists gave a paper presentation at a special session of the 2025 POMS Annual Conference, and their papers and presentation were evaluated by a panel of five faculty members. 

We congratulate the winners of this year's competition and thank all the first-round reviewers and the panel members whose names are attached at the end of this announcement for their service.
