Gartner has revealed its annual ranking of the top supply chain organisations headquartered in Asia Pacific at its Supply Chain Executive Conference currently underway in Sydney, Australia.
The goal of the annual Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 research initiative is to raise awareness of the supply chain discipline and how it impacts business results. From the overall list of qualifying organisations, Gartner identified the top 15 performers headquartered in Asia Pacific, based on revenue growth, return on assets (ROA), inventory and peer opinion.
Vikas Sarangdhar, Research Director, Gartner, said, “While demand in Asia Pacific is growing, inflation, rising costs and a tightening labour market pose challenges for companies in the region. Economic challenges in the rest of the world also amplify the risks, as a further sharp fall in exports to advanced economies and capital outflows would impact Asia both directly and through knock-on effects on domestic demand.”
Debashis Tarafdar, Research Director, Gartner, said, “Companies leading the top supply chains in Asia Pacific have demonstrated capabilities in demand management, operational excellence and innovation. They are using best practices including demand sensing and shaping, segmentation and collaboration, to help manage demand volatility and deliver predictable results. To measure supply chain performance, they select the right metrics that are aligned to the company’s overall business objectives. They also build resiliency into supply network design, and implement risk management strategies across trading partner networks.”
