The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) is deeply saddened by the passing of Joe Andraski, a well-respected colleague and mentor to many in the supply chain profession. Andraski, who held senior roles at Nabisco and made significant contributions to major supply chain associations including CSCMP, died on May 1 after a prolonged health battle.
Throughout his career, Andraski embodied excellence and dedication to the field of supply chain management. He played a pivotal role at the Voluntary Interindustry Commerce Solutions (VICS) organization, making notable contributions to the development of RFID and Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment (CPFR).
In recognition of his contributions to the field of supply chain management, CSCMP presented Andraski with its highest honor, the Distinguished Service Award, in 1995.
Beyond his professional achievements, Andraski was a proud U.S. Army veteran and a dedicated community volunteer.
“Joe was a true leader in our profession and a dear friend to many of us,” said CSCMP President and CEO Mark Baxa. “His passion for the industry and his willingness to mentor others will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.”
