The Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 for 2013 Published: 22 May 2013 Analyst(s): Debra Hofman, Stan Aronow, Kimberly Nilles This research unveils the ninth annual Supply Chain Top 25, identifying global supply chain leaders and highlighting their best practices. Key Findings ■ The top five includes three from last year — Apple, McDonalds and Amazon — and two that are new to the top five, but have been rising steadily — Intel and Unilever. ■ Three new companies joined the list this year: Ford, Lenovo and Qualcomm. ■ Three key trends emerged among the leaders: finding new synergies across best practices, partnering more productively for growth and inspiring the hearts and minds of their supply chain talent in new ways. Recommendations ■ After harmonizing foundational processes, data structures and solutions for your global supply chain, drive next-level, tailored performance through advanced capabilities such as end-to-end segmentation, cost-to-serve analytics, multitier supply chain visibility and supply network optimization. ■ Form a cross-functional team composed of sales, marketing, supply chain and IT to design a holistic new market strategy, and enable local operations supporting new geographies and products for your business groups. ■ Set aspirational goals and connect the dots between the work people do every day in supply chain and its contribution to the societies within which they live, building engaged supply chain talent that can lead business growth.
