Master Tier
In addition, Gartner showcases the continuously leading supply chains through the Master category launched in 2015: companies that have achieved a composite score in the top five for at least seven of the past ten years are considered Masters. Amazon, Apple, Procter & Gamble and Unilever all maintained their Master category status this year.
According to the introduction, this list is a list of companies screened out by Gartner from the Fortune Global 500 and Forbes Global 2000, adopting a general annual revenue threshold of $15 billion, and companies without a physical supply chain will be excluded. The top 25 supply chain rankings are based on an equal weight of business indicators and community opinions:
Business Indicators
Business indicators include financial and environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics. The financial metrics are based on a combination of three-year weighted return on physical assets (ROPA), ROPA changes and revenue growth, and annual inventory turnover.
Community Opinions
Community opinions are based on feedback from community peer voters and Gartner experts. Peer voters vote for their personal top 25 supply chains. Their decisions are based on the perceived end-to-end supply chain maturity and leadership, especially the supply chain operating as a strategic asset.
