Interesting blog from a supply chain analyst questioning research firm Gartner’s assertion – for three years running, no less – that Apple has the most effective supply chain in the world. The post compares and contrasts Apple’s supply chain with that of e-commerce giant Amazon, which could, arguably, be said to be comparing apples with pears. Some fascinating insights into the metrics of supply chains nonetheless.
