Johnson & Johnson moves up eight spots on the Gartner Top 25 Supply Chain Index

The company’s supply chain division is honored by a leading research and advisory firm for setting the standard in healthcare, and transforming customer experience.

Johnson & Johnson’s supply chain marked another step on its journey to build the best supply chain in the world: It scored its highest-ever ranking on the most widely-recognized list of top performers.
On May 25, Gartner announced its annual Top 25 Supply Chain Index. Johnson & Johnson ranked #13, moving up eight spots from its 2016 ranking. Not only was this the biggest leap forward of any company on the list, but Johnson & Johnson is now the only healthcare supply chain included on this prominent cross-industry ranking of large cap company supply chains.
