Supply Chain Executives
Executive 2018
4th Edition of European Supply Chain Leaders’ Ranking 2018
Top 28 Supply Chain Executives in Europe
Supply chain management is about more than just moving goods from A to B. It is focused on value creation and, due to globalization, on managing complex networks through partnerships and collaboration, driven by the supply chain leader’s vision and mission. This year we are pleased to present the 2018 edition of the ‘Top 28 Supply Chain Executives in Europe’. These are the leaders in top supply chain management positions within multinational companies who inspire, innovate and succeed in achieving consistently exceptional results. By Martijn Lofvers, Edwin Tuyn and Christian Plesca
EXPLANATION OF METHODOLOGY
The ranking of the Top 28 Supply Chain Executives in Europe is based on four quadrants each weighing 25%.
38
The first quadrant is the Company Suc- cess of each supply chain executive’s employer. This is assessed by compar- ing the financial results of the fiscal year 2017 against 2016 in terms of the revenue growth, earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) and the return on capital employed (ROCE) on a year-over-year (YoY) basis. To calculate the financial performance, the company’s annual reports of the com- pleted fiscal years 2017 and 2016 were used as the basis for comparisons. This is because 2018 is still ongoing, and using the first, second and third quarters of 2018 versus 2017 would result in an incomplete financial statement evaluation due to the peak sales of most companies occurring in November and December. The second quadrant is Personal Respon- sibility which measures each executive’s span of control based on the SCOR model, the geographical area they manage (e.g. global or regional area of responsibility), overall supply chain complexity and their
supply chain maturity level (from Stage 1 to Stage 5, based on the Gartner model). The third quadrant is Personal Visibility. The public profile of each executive is eval- uated YoY (2018 against 2017) in order to identify and quantify four sub-criteria: 1) number of press releases issued in their name; 2) total number of interviews they have given; 3) total attended conferences; and 4) total university lectures given. The fourth quadrant is Peer Voting by experts in the supply chain sector, such as executive recruiters, professors, supply
chain peers and consultants. Each peer is asked to award points, ranging from one point to their tenth candidate of choice and ten points to their first preference. The peers award their points based on the executive’s industry experience, knowl- edge and collaboration with them.
In the 2018 edition, Marc Engel, Chief Supply Chain Officer at Unilever, has earned the title of ‘Number 1 Supply Chain Executive in Europe’ for the second consecutive time.
