Once again, it’s time for Gartner’s Top 25 supply chains, the annual list of the 25 supply chains that have made it to the top, plus five Masters that have consistently outperformed year after year.

Once again, it’s time for Gartner’s Top 25 supply chains, the annual list of the 25 supply chains that have made it to the top, plus five Masters that have consistently outperformed year after year.

This is when companies that are otherwise competitors for customers come together to share—and optimize—their assets, such as warehouses, distribution centers and transportation assets.

So, they create pools of shared assets.
As you’ll learn in the two articles about American Eagle Outfitter’s new approach to e-fulfillment, AEO is developing a shared network of distribution centers and transportation services for other like-minded retailers who might otherwise compete. In the words of Shekar Natarajan, AEO’s chief supply chain officer, banding together is the only way that small-to-mid-sized retailers can get the scale necessary to compete with the e-commerce giants.
