THE GARTER SUPPLY CHAIN
Gartner analysts derive a master list of companies from the Fortune Global 500 and the Forbes Global 2000 , with a revenue cut-off of $ 12 billion . Gartner then pares the combined list down to the manufacturing , retail and distribution sectors , thus eliminating certain industries , such as financial services and insurance .
Analysts are discussing the future direction of the supply chain industry at the Gartner Supply Chain Executive Conference , taking place through today at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa in Phoenix . The Gartner Supply Chain Executive Conference will also be held September 23-24 in London .
