CINEC Maritime Campus was crowned champions at the float competition of WiLAT Walk - “Striking a Balance in Logistic and Transport Sector” held last month.

CINEC displayed the concept of Maritime and Supply Chain Management in the float and added value to the main theme assigned by the WiLAT (Women in Logistics and Transport) of Chartered Logistics and Transport. This was a competition among three institutes namely Moratuwa University, Kothalawala Defence University and CINEC, and was organized by WiLAT.

Maritime sector has been represented by Marine Engineering cadets and officer cadets of CINEC. Supply Chain Management has been represented by Diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate students of all faculties and department of CINEC.

The Project leader Wajira Ratnayake explaining the success story said, “We all worked as a team since the day we decided to contest until we really won. The management of CINEC provided all the support and guidance. It has been a fun time for students and they learnt many things that they cannot learn in the class room environment. More importantly throughout the process they got the exposure to improve their soft skills. There we had won even before going for the competition.

Supply Chain Management consists of five major components. Plan; Source; Make; Deliver; and Return. Therefore our students focused on these aspects using posters and models in this float. In securing display materials we announced a “Poster and model competition” among students.

Students were given full freedom to decide the type of poster or model individually or in groups. The evaluation criteria were, (a) Relevance to the concept 50 percent, (b) Presentation quality 20 percent, (c) Minimum cost 15 percent, and (d) Convenience of Move-ability 15 percent.

CINEC is one of Sri Lanka’s largest private higher education institutes dedicated to quality education. Over 19,000 students annually follow a range of over 185 educational and training programs in the institute. The Campus situated in the picturesque suburbs of Malabe in close proximity to Sri Jayawardenapura and has branches in Nugegoda, Trincomalee and Jafna.
