NGC^® today announced that Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine has named NGC to its prestigious Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100 list that highlights “100 Great Supply Chain Projects.” This is the third consecutive year NGC has been awarded this honor.

The 2013 Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100 list consists of supply chain solution and service providers that are helping their customers and clients achieve supply chain excellence. They have produced measurable gains in ROI through cost-cutting and increased efficiency, whether in warehouse, transportation, procurement sourcing or any other category in the end-to-end supply chain. The magazine's editorial staff evaluated submissions primarily based on: ambitiousness and scope of the project, creative application of solutions used, extent of the business results, and clarity of submission.

"Our goal with this year's '100', as with every year, is to put the spotlight on successful and innovative transformation projects that are delivering bottom-line value to small, medium and large enterprises across the different functions that comprise the supply chain," said Barry Hochfelder, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive. "The projects featured in the '100' article can serve as a roadmap for supply chain executives looking for new opportunities to drive improvement in their own operations."
