AMR Research Announces the Top 25 Supply Chains for 2009

June 9, 2009, 9:41 am

Despite the recession, Apple has once again topped AMR’s Top 25 Supply Chain list, followed by Dell, P&G, IBM, and Cisco Systems. AMR Research defines three broad principles that weigh into the ranking of these supply chains: supply management (manufacturing, logistics and sourcing), demand management (marketing, sales, and service), and product management (R&D, engineering and product development). An organization’s overall rank was determined by how successful they are at achieving and integrating all three.

Interestingly enough, a few of those top-ranked companies use Management Dynamics for their global trade management needs. P&G uses Supply Chain Visibility for Shippers to ensure visibility, communicate with carriers and suppliers, and make optimal sourcing decisions.
