1. Apple
Apple has topped Gartner’s Supply Chain Top 25 list for eight years now.

From China, products are shipped directly to customers. Despite its reputation for an " unbreakable" supply chain, Apple has reportedly suffered some setbacks to the iPhone 12 release due to the COVID-19 pandemic
2. Amazon
Amazon has reinvented eCommerce supply-chain management. The company’s focus on high responsiveness combined with warehouse automation and robotics allowed it to transform the industry with one-day delivery, and even offers two-hour delivery with Prime Now.Turning away from outsourcing, Amazon is increasingly pulling logistics in- house while building massive fulfillment centers. In September 2019 Amazon purchased 100,000 electric delivery vans as part of its Climate Pledge to deliver net-zero carbon by 203, and in 2020 the company took advantage of depressed prices during the coronavirus pandemic to expand its air fleet.

Walmart is known for implementing cutting-edge supply chain technologies and creating unique pathways to efficiency. The retailer’s supply chain management strategies are often studied by other companies to emulate Walmart’s success. Walmart has shifted recently to a "ship from store" approach where customer orders are picked from stores rather than from distribution centers. With 90% of Americans living within 10 miles of a Walmart, this has enabled fast and low-cost delivery of online orders during the eCommerce boom.
5. Johnson & Johnson

making, improves data quality, and provides real-time analytics.In the area of corporate responsibility, Intel’s RISE strategy will create a more responsible, inclusive, and sustainable supply chain enabled by technology.
9. PepsiCo
