Summary:Two thousand eleven marks the seventh year of the Supply Chain Top 25 report. At its highest level, the goal of this research has always been to raise awareness of the supply chain discipline and how it impacts business. By identifying the leaders -- that is, companies that are pushing the envelope of supply chain innovation -- this article hopes to consistently highlight the best practices from which others can learn, thereby raising the bar for the supply chain profession as a whole. Stepping back from the discussions the authors have had all year, four themes emerged: 1. resilience, 2. value chain network integration, 3. vision and sustainable execution, and 4. orchestration. With seven years of data and discussion behind it, the 2011 Supply Chain Top 25 continues to offer lessons about staying power, change, and the never-ending challenge of defining and measuring excellence.
