Dell Ranked as Top Supply Chain - Toyota Sixth

The Top 25 Supply Chains for 2005, AMR Research:

Supply chain leaders are able to shape demand, instantly respond to market changes, and crush their competitors. According to AMR Research benchmarking data, leaders carry 15% less inventory, are 60% faster to market, and complete 17% more perfect orders.

The first component of the ranking is publicly available financial data, which comprises 60% of the total score: return on assets and inventory turns each accounts for 25%, and trailing 12 months’ growth accounts for 10%. The second component of the ranking is AMR Research’s opinion, which is 40% of the total score.
