Gartner said, “The Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 is about leadership. Every year we identify the companies that best exemplify the demand-driven ideal for today’s supply chain and document their best practices, which can help all companies move closer to their demand-driven goals.” Product procurement, manufacturing, distribution, and demand analysis are all part of the study.

Gartner’s results are published for other supply chain organizations to use as a pattern for their business model moving forward. The results are useful for all supply chains, not just in the healthcare industry. The goal of every supply chain should be to get products to customers as quickly as possible and at the cheapest cost, without sacrificing on quality. That’s what the top 25 healthcare supply chain list exemplifies. [/show_to]
