Метки (тэги, tags): At its recent supply chain executive conference, analyst firm Gartner released its list of the top 25 supply chains, continuing the tradition of AMR, which Gartner acquired in 2010. It is the eighth such list.
For the second year in a row, Apple topped the rankings. Amazon.com jumped to number 2 this year from the fifth spot in 2011. Many supply chain professionals see the list, but have no idea how it is actually constructed. As we explain below, the results are based on a combination of both objective and subjective inputs. On the objective side, Gartner uses three pieces of financial data: Return on Assets (ROA), inventory turns, and revenue growth. ROA and revenue are based on three-year averages. The total weighting for the three financial areas are 25%, 15%, and 10% respectively, or 50% of the total score between them. 25 percent is then based on the opinion of Gartner’s own analysts, and another 25% is based on "peer" opinions, coming from a survey of supply chain professionals. This year, 173 such peer responses were received. It should be noted that the financial components, especially revenue growth, can be variable and significantly impact a company’s position. As an easy example, cell phone maker Research in Motion (RIM) dropped from number The top 25 list for 2012, along with how each company ranked in 2011, is shown below. As can be seen, four companies made the top 25 that were not on the list in 2011. Those were apparel retailer H&M, industrial equipment giant Caterpillar, engine maker Cummins, and consumer packaged goods company Kimberly-Clark. Leaving the list for 2012 were IBM, Microsoft, Tesco, and Kraft. Gartner notes that IBM and Microsoft left the top 25 because of a change in methodology that eliminates companies that have too high a percentage of revenues that comes from services versus physical products.
Gartner's Top 25 Supply Chains 2012
Gartner says that its research this year identified three important trends among supply chain performance leaders: (1) Focus on Supply Chain Risk Management: Gartner notes that "that a company's ability to post industry-leading financial results year after year, despite demand and supply disruptions, is an indicator of resiliency." (2) Use of Supply Chain Segmentation Strategies to Simplify Operations: "Supply chain segmentation has emerged as a critical enabler of supply chain simplification, delivering only the level of service required by each customer type and nothing more," Gartner says. (3) Use of "Multi-Local" Strategies: Leaders are architecting supply chains globally, but providing capabilities and executing more locally, Gartner says. Gartner says it wishes it had access to four other metrics to create the list: perfect order ratios and total supply chain costs (operational excellence) and time to value from investments and “return on new product launch” (innovation).
