Recently, Thomas, an established American manufacturing and industrial marketing company, selected the 12 best supply chain companies in 2020. As the only Chinese company, Alibaba entered the list and ranked tenth.
Hiroji Mitani said in “The History of Business Models”: “In the B2B industry, most of the last laughs have a strong real economy.” Nowadays, supply chain capabilities are becoming a watershed for To B capabilities. Companies with supply chain capabilities are not only the real economy themselves, but also have the ability to help the real economy accelerate its cycle.
Thomas’s list points out that modern supply chains are increasingly becoming a source of organizational competitive advantage, especially in times of crisis when corporate resilience is being tested. Operational efficiency, technological innovation, and service continuity have made first-class supply chain companies stand out. The specific selection criteria include: the strength and resilience of the supply chain was proved during the epidemic; the organization was transparent and goal-oriented; the supply chain model was flexibly adjusted to always maintain commercial competitiveness; and it was an early adopter of digital technology.
Apple, Amazon, McDonald’s, Wal-Mart, Johnson & Johnson, L’Oreal, Spanish fashion retail group Inditex, Intel, Pepsi, Alibaba, Nestle, Colgate-Palmolive and other 12 companies are on the list.
Among them, Alibaba is the only Chinese company on the list . The list believes: “Despite the impact of the epidemic, Alibaba’s transaction volume in fiscal year 2020 has successfully exceeded $1 trillion. In 2019, Alibaba began to strengthen its self-operated supply chain business to better serve 960 million consumers worldwide.”
