We should be ashamed of ourselves.

I was just looking at the 2014 “Supply Chain Top 25” for 2014, published by Gartner, Inc., for the 10^th straight year.  It's a pretty good list, and I do make a point of checking it out every year.

The names at the top of the list are no surprise.  “The top five-ranked organizations in 2014 include four that topped the list last year — Apple, McDonald's, Amazon and Unilever — plus another familiar leader, P&G.”

Take a moment to look at all of the names in the Top 25, and think about what you don’t see.

Where are the Aerospace and Defense companies?  There isn’t single one on the list.  Those of us who consider ourselves military logisticians ought to be ashamed of ourselves.

I think this is what Spain must have felt like at the World Cup.
