The SCM rankings act as a recruiter’s guide to future supply chain management talent. SCM World annually compiles these standings by surveying hundreds of supply chain executives around the world to find out which universities they look to as “markers of talent”.

The tally of the data came down to how employers view the talent pools coming from graduates entering the workforce. According to SCM World, their main goal is to recognize which universities are “top of mind” for supply chain executives when they are recruiting future employees.

The SCM World community aims to empower supply chain professionals with the capability, commitment and confidence to drive greater positive impact on business performance and help solve three of the world’s fundamental challenges: health, hunger and environmental sustainability.
