Top 25 Supply Chains, 2014 Edition

June 2, 2014
A company-by-company analysis of the top 25 supply chains of 2014.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of analyst firm Gartner's Top 25 Supply Chains, an annual ranking of large, publicly-held manufacturers, retailers and distribution companies. One of the goals of the list, according to Stan Aronow, research vice president at Gartner, is "to offer a platform for debate, learning and helping the supply chain community push the envelope of innovation in its contributions to the global economy."

To that end, then, let the debate begin. Take a look at our slideshow, which includes our own take on each of the Top 25 Supply Chains, and then weigh in with your opinion on who you think should've been on the list.

Find out more about the entire Top 25 Supply Chains of 2014 at IndustryWeek. IndustryWeek is an MHL companion site within Penton’s Manufacturing & Supply Chain Group.
