Supply Chain Champs
Every year AMR research (www.amrresearch.com ) publishes the Top25 Supply Chain Leaders in our Global economy.
Apart from all the financial and operational data being reviewed (like Return on Assets and Inventory Turns), other elements driving Supply Chain Excellence are being introduced into the metrics of this Top25.
To name a few:
- Revenue Growth
- DDSN score, meaning Demand Driven Supply Network
Demand Driven Excellence is considered to be the main distinguishing element for Supply Chain Champs. DDE integrates all relevant business processes and consists of the following elements:
- Supply Management – Manufacturing, logistics and Sourcing
- Demand Managent – Marketing, Sales & Service
- Product Management – R&D, Engineering and Product Development
Take a look at AMR’s website for more info (free registration).
