From February 26, for a period of 2 months, Lab members will be testing a new, agile and dynamic way of working. Divided into 5 squads, each led by a manager, they will share and co-construct deliverables for the community.
1 squad = 1 subject = 1 autonomous team
Expected results: applicable, concrete resources (practical worksheet, webinar or reference document) and key learnings to enable your projects to be scaled up to the corporate level.
The advantage of this new formula is that you can commit to a controlled timeframe.
Here are the 5 themes aka squads for the1st quarter 2024:
Data maturity grid
Tuesdays from 8 to 9 a.m.
Objective: to finalize a V0 analysis grid for testing within each of the squads. This grid will enable companies to determine which use cases to address according to their maturity. In a second phase, the grid will be homogenized in the light of the results observed in the 4 other squads.
Data governance andCO2 calculation
Fridays from 8 to 9 a.m.
Objective: to propose methodologies for correctly measuring and comparing carbon emissions. The approach will be complemented and illustrated by concrete case studies.
Back to S&OP
Wednesdays from 12pm to 1pm
Objective: to take a quick look at the state of the art, then work on new technologies and possible models to be more granular, automated and agile in the face of market volatility and crises.
Generative AI
Thursdays from 12pm to 1pm
Objective: share a list of use cases that are either in thesis or deployed, to give ideas, highlight what has worked and warnings.
Intra logistics
Dates to be defined after publication of their Panorama
Objective: to work on retrofit, end-of-life and rental of handling, preparation and storage solutions. The aim is to address the issue of long-term investments in a somewhat turbulent context.
Conditions for joining a squad for 2 months (and more if you wish):
Membership
Be able to bring something to the squad, have something to say (in progress or in production)
Commit to 8 hours of effort per contributor over the duration of the sprint.

We invite you to take the microphone and share your experience in our new podcast!
The Lab jeunes de France Supply Chain by ASLOG is launching a call for entries to highlight inspirational figures in our field.
If you've forged your success through supply chain challenges and triumphs, then this is your time to shine. Join us for a series of captivating podcasts where you can share your strategies, lessons learned and vision for the future.
On Wednesday January 17, the spotlight turned to Valérie Dubois, Industrial Director of Ateliers de Maroquinerie Louis Vuitton. With 5000 employees across 9 sites, this woman of influence reveals the behind-the-scenes of her professional and personal daily life, offering a rare insight into the life of an accomplished executive. This immersion in her day-to-day reality reveals the challenges she brilliantly meets and the inspiring lessons she shares with the public.
The daily life of an Industrial Director
Thanks to questions from Marie-Laure Furgala, Director of KEDGE BUSINESS SCHOOL's ISLI MS/MSC in Global Supply Chain, Valérie Dubois takes us through her busy days, oscillating between strategic meetings at head office and immersion in production workshops. This duality between the tangible in the field and strategic discussions in the head office reveals her unique balance.
As a mother of two, she also shares her approach to reconciling an intense professional life with a fulfilling family life. She explains, for example, that she quickly made the choice to be less present, to sometimes come home late, but to be 100% present to share quality moments. In this way, she was able to combat her feelings of guilt.
When it comes to managing her time, she shared with us her clever strategy of hiring an au-pair. This decision has enabled her to put an end to the frantic race against time. What's more, in order to take a step back when operational demands become overwhelming, she regularly plans moments dedicated to her well-being, whether through relaxing pampering sessions or running sessions to free her mind from the daily hustle and bustle.
Break the myth of "luck" and cultivate self-confidence
As a woman in a leadership position, Valérie Dubois reveals her career path, highlighting how she overcame the obstacles she had sometimes imposed on herself, notably through the way she presented herself and explained her presence in the position of Site Manager. " I used to say, 'I've been lucky', but that's not true, it's something you bring on yourself, and it's the result of who you are and the work you do".
She encourages women to be clear in their positioning right from the start of their career, to dare to change and to test, because that's how you learn continuously and because "that's what gives salt in your career". What's more, such trajectories help build self-confidence and confidence for the future.
Her views on coaching and how she has used it in her career
If I had to do it all over again, I'd call on them sooner to get feedback, coaching and 360° vision.
According to Marie-Laure Furgala's guest, this type of service helps to build self-confidence, legitimize oneself and therefore dare. It gives you the keys and the mindset you need to compete for a new position or build the next stage of your career.
But how do you find them, and how do you find trusted mentors? As a manager, Valérie Dubois has a clear opinion: "Companies need to have a real mentoring strategy, it's really important". One-to-one support from a senior employee is a career booster, and also helps to retain talent. This is as true for a junior as it is for an experienced employee whose qualities are recognized and whom we want to take on new responsibilities.
Operations and production: an enlightened passion
Operations are more than just processes; they embody agility, complexity, diversity, and an unwavering quest for sustainability. It's more than just mechanics, it's a source of inspiration that aims to amaze and sparkle in the eyes. Every intervention in the operations has a tangible impact, and the human element is inseparable from these production activities, lending an essential dimension to the whole.
It's the heart of the reactor, where we understand how added value is built up, and who are the people involved, the support professions [...] Manufacturing products as leanly as possible, generating less and less waste, also gives us missions.
The uniqueness of this approach lies in a deep passion for the product, expressed through obsessive attention to detail, a commitment to quality, and mastery of exceptional craftsmanship. It is not simply an end result, but occupies a central place, permeating every stage of production.
For Valérie Dubois, Industrial Director of Ateliers de Maroquinerie Louis Vuitton, production and the product are more than just functional elements of her job; they are the driving force behind her career, giving it essential meaning .
A vision of management
To deal with crises, she encourages us to look at and analyze situations through "2 pairs of different glasses":
The company view
Employees' view
That's how she believes she succeeds in bringing about far-reaching structural change, overhauling work organization and, of course, getting her teams on board. On this last point, she confides that she had to find unprecedented solutions when she became the boss of her colleagues. Her answer? Collaborative management.
This3rd inspiring webinar offered viewers an endless source of inspiration, practical advice and an enlightened vision of professional and personal success.
One last tip?
The network you build up, even in a variety of sectors and professions, feeds you for tomorrow. It pays off in the same way as your own experience.
Thanks to Valérie Dubois
for the invaluable lessons she shared with us with generosity and candor.

What books can Valérie recommend to help us gain self-confidence?
I can simply recommend a very interesting book: "L'affirmation de soi : Mieux gérer ses relations avec les autres" by Dominique Chalvin (Edition ESF Sciences Humaines).
I've been retraining for 3 years (Bachelor+Master), but how can I "target" a specific Supply Chain job and activity, beyond the size of the company?
The key is experience in the field. Explore various Supply Chain sectors and discover the realities of the field. Consult our guide to higher education courses for detailed advice and guidance tailored to your career path.
The right product, the right place, the right time, the right resources and the right information? Shouldn't we be encouraging girls to go for IT-oriented courses as well as Quality, Industrial Logistics and Organization courses?
Absolutely! For complete success, encouraging girls to go into IT is essential. In addition to the traditional courses, IT plays a crucial role in the supply chain. Take a look at our guide to higher education courses to discover the various paths available.
Do you have any advice on training courses (with or without certification) that provide important keys to a career in supply (in parallel with a job when you're already working)?
Certifying and non-certifying courses can enrich your Supply Chain career while you work. Consult our guide to higher education courses for specific recommendations, as the choice depends on your professional goals and your availability.
I'm the youngest member of the team, 26 years old, an engineer by training (École des Mines d'Albi then ISLI Kedge Bordeaux). I'm from the south-west (we say chocolatine) and I'm motivated to build great things with France Supply Chain and its member companies. I arrived at the end of November 2023 in a very welcoming team! I immediately felt at home. I've had the chance to meet a huge number of industrial players in all positions.
Nobody asked me for them, but my 3 main qualities to be a good project manager come from my judo background: calmness, rigor and sincerity. Oh, and a sense of humor too - I love humor! There's nothing like a good atmosphere to work serenely as a team. See you soon!
Call for contributions: your actions and solutions for a Frugal and Desirable Supply Chain
The actors
At the end of 2023, we published the2nd version of our Manifesto. A more accomplished and committed vision of what the Supply Chain must be to preserve the planet and our societies.
V0 of this Manifesto is made up of 4 chapters and 19 fact sheets, backed up by examples. Indeed, the more of us share our best practices and ideas, the faster we'll move towards a desirable future.
First concrete results unveiled for more efficient urban logistics
Since 2019, we have been leading the E.VO.L.U.E (Engagement VOlontaire pour une Logistique Urbaine Efficiente) project with Club Déméter, and the Institut du Commerce.
A look back at the circular workshop "What is a circular supply chain?
Sharing ideas to build a Circular Supply Chain
On November 22, Lab SupplyChain4Good and our partner Citwell orchestrated a dynamic working day, bringing together over 50 people from a wide range of professional backgrounds. Companies, institutions, academics, local authorities and associations came together to share their expertise and experiences, affirming together that the circular supply chain is essential for a circular economy.
On November 22, Lab SupplyChain4Good and our partner Citwell orchestrated a dynamic working day, bringing together over 50 people from a wide range of professional backgrounds. Companies, institutions, academics, local authorities and associations came together to share their expertise and experiences, affirming together that the circular supply chain is essential for a circular economy.
Objectives of the Circular Supply Chain workshops
The key idea guiding the day was the conviction that transforming supply chain models is essential to embracing circularity. Indeed, to keep pace with changing business models, the supply chain must also adopt a circular approach, given its cross-functional nature.
The workshops focused on three key objectives:
Aligning with the transformation of supply chain models required for the flyer
List the obstacles and levers YOU have encountered on the way to the newsletter
Mobilizing energies to build a circular supply chain coalition
Exploring the Circular Supply Chain
Fascinating conferences deepened our understanding of the circular supply chain. Two testimonials highlighted crucial topics: the decarbonization of transport and circularity in textiles. These examples revealed innovative operational processes and strategies, going beyond conventional methods such as reverse logistics and reusable packaging.
Expert voice - Anaïs Leblanc - PARTNER AND SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION MANAGER at Citwell
Four loops, four lines of thought for concrete, operational results
The day was structured around four fundamental loops:
Intensifying usage: how to maximize the use of existing resources?
Repair and Redistribution: explore opportunities for product repair and redistribution.
Remanufacturing and sustainable production: how to build robust, sober products?
Recycling: how to recover materials, regulatory and technical developments, and traceability?
The workshops produced over 30 concrete, rapidly operational solutions, the result of the commitment and creativity of the participants. The second workshop, focused on resolving the obstacles identified in the morning, was particularly fruitful.

The day was the scene of an enriching collaboration and generated practical solutions to steer the Supply Chain towards circularity. These tangible results testify to the willingness of players to transform their practices for a more sustainable future. We'll soon be inviting you to take part in our series of testimonials, starting in April. Share your experiences, successes and challenges in implementing circular practices within your Supply Chain.
Together, let's build a future where circularity becomes the norm.
Since 2019, France Supply Chain (formerly ASLOG), Club Déméter, and Institut du Commerce have been leading the E.VO.L.U.E (Engagement VOlontaire pour une Logistique Urbaine Efficiente) project. After several years' work, the three associations are now presenting the first concrete results of this collaborative initiative, aimed at optimizing urban goods flows.
The genesis of the project
The mission of the E.VO.L.U.E project is to structure the initiatives of supply chain professionals, by modeling a new, more responsible urban logistics system. The aim is to establish a robust method for analyzing data to identify ways of making operations more efficient while reducing the environmental footprint, in collaboration with economic players and public authorities.
A large-scale project supported by numerous partners
This innovative, large-scale project, supported by the 3 associations mentioned above, would not have been possible without the essential commitment of the Grand Paris Seine Ouest (GPSO) test area, sponsors (the main one being the Île-de-France Region), technical partners, and contributors who have agreed to share their data.
Three key steps to more efficient urban logistics
The three-stage E.VO.L.U.E project has mobilized anonymous contributors since 2019, including carriers, shippers and retailers in the GPSO area.
Initial results have enabled us to study data from over 25,000 tours over the months of October 2020, 2021 and 2022.
Initial analysis results
Impact of congestion on deliveries More than half of all routes suffer a significant impact from congestion on their travel times, confirming the importance of finding ways to shift freight traffic to off-peak hours whenever possible.
Proximity to delivery areas Only 20% of deliveries are made within 50m of a delivery area, and 39% of deliveries are made more than 150m from a delivery area.
Supply and demand for delivery areas While there are currently 260 delivery areas in the study area, an additional 140 would cover 50% of demand.
The Urban Micro-Hub solution The creation of 3 delivery hubs with a catchment radius of 2 km would cover up to 95% of delivery points in the study area.
The findings of this initial analysis offer very positive prospects for optimizing urban logistics in the study area, and suggest numerous alternatives for phase 2 of the project.
Call for Papers
It's not too late to join the E.VO.L.U.E project! Companies wishing to participate in modeling more efficient and responsible urban logistics by sharing their data anonymously and having access to the full results can still join the current contributors...
About France Supply Chain
The FRANCE SUPPLY CHAIN By Aslog community is committed to strengthening the impact of the Supply Chain on business competitiveness, and making it a lever for a more sustainable world. Our network of 4,900 members, professionals from all business sectors, academics and students, pool ideas and experience to provide Supply Chain players with concrete solutions.
The workshops held in our LABS and self-help communities are great places for reflection, exchange and progress. Our actions and projects are guided by 3 key principles: our ability to set the standard, to leverage collective intelligence via our communities, and to increase our capacity to influence essential developments.
Since 2002, Club Déméter Logistique Responsable has been a reference and exchange platform for organizing experiments dedicated to the supply chain and the control of social and environmental impacts. Club Déméter brings together leading companies in industry, distribution and logistics services, as well as major players in the public sector. Its scope of action extends to all logistics and transport operations in France, and covers all aspects of impact management.
Our primary objectives are to promote, experiment with and implement concrete, measurable and respectful actions in the three areas of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental. In 20 years, over 100 projects have been carried out collectively within the association.
The Institut du Commerce is a not-for-profit association that fosters cooperation between trade players (retailers, manufacturers, service providers, institutions (federations, associations, academia, etc.) to develop prosperous, fair, ecologically and socially sustainable trade with a regenerative outlook. The association supports the transformation of practices by offering the community a collection of solutions for raising awareness, mobilizing, dialoguing, cooperating and measuring.
France Supply Chain presents an updated and comprehensive version of its 2020 manifesto.
The aim of this founding document is to shed light on the future of the industry, and make it a desirable one. It is divided into 4 chapters and 19 fact sheets, supported by examples that are the fruit of the collective intelligence of its 4,900 members. With this plea, the association hopes to inspire Supply industry players and help them take action.
Beyond a vision, the community's concrete actions
A new feature of this 2023 edition was that the network's member companies took part, sharing examples from their decarbonization or strategic plans. All subjects were covered thanks to the involvement and diversity of the association's members, i.e. 420 companies and 30 leading schools and training organizations.
Sobriety and circularity applied to the supply chain
The scope of the actions identified does not stop at goods transport and product design. Sobriety and circularity require a rethinking of organizational chains, and therefore also impact logistics buildings, data management and even the very notion of ownership.
A plea for shared ecosystems
The concepts of frugality and loops require strong collaboration between players. The publication presents solutions for sharing use and value equitably and with confidence.
Numerous proposals to give meaning and humanity to our professions
In the final part of the Manifesto, France Supply Chain's Human Resources Lab shares its ideas for offering career paths that are a source of fulfillment: strengthening initial and continuing training, improving inclusion, dynamic and qualifying career paths synonymous with social springboards, etc.

Monsieur de Feraudy, a trick question to begin with: did you want to organize this event?
Yes, I wanted this event. About a year ago, I received an e-mail from Thomas Wimmer (president of the BVL) who wanted to re-enact the famous Franco-German couple and revive the ELA. I was naturally very interested. We need to learn from each other, we need to work together to get the best practices.
That's when our partnership with Supply Chain magazine came into play, as they organize the Rois de la Supply Chain, and every year, together, we present our champions at the ELA Awards. And it just so happened that last year, in 2022, France won the ELA Awards. And it occurred to me that we could have a kind of Eurovision-type organization where the winner organizes the next edition.
It seemed only natural to seize the opportunity of the 2023 ELA Awards to organize the event marking the milestone of a new ELA governance and also marking a new habit: tonight's winner will have to organize the same event next year.
With For Supply and Beyond, what ideas did you want to put across to the industry?
In 2020, we were looking for a mission and it turned out that we all wanted to use the Supply Chain as a lever for greater sustainability. We are the ones who, with our teams and their skills, are truly essential to create more sustainable supply chains and a more sustainable world. So that's our motto and what we want to do. And we continue to go further(beyond).
We talked aboutsocial impact, circularity, slowing down flows, but also about setting up collaborative ecosystems. These are all subjects that are the subject of debate and questioning, and that our members are developing in the new version of our Manifesto.
Get the Manifesto
How does it differ from the previous version?
In 2021, the French Senate invited us to an interview with a series of questions on the theme "How can we be more sustainable?". We prepared a working document showing the reasons to believe in such a scenario thanks to Supply Chains. The result was our first Manifesto.
In that version, we didn't name the companies that provided the examples and achievements, but in this new version, we've decided to name the projects and companies that agreed to testify. It's a collection of use cases to inspire others, and to share with those who want to know more about replicating these successful projects.
Why have you chosen to reveal your advocacy for a Frugal and Desirable Supply Chain at this event?
What I've just told you only works for France. What we've learned is that very often the answer is beyond constraints, solutions beyond limits of your company alone, you need to work together. You see beyond is everywhere today. But it's not enough for the French to work together. We need to learn from each other at a European level. I therefore invited all our guests to get hold of this Manifesto and to work together to enrich and complete this document with their own examples.
Mr. Markus Mau (President of ELA), any comments?
A new era of collaboration and interaction is opening up, and this represents real added value for all of us. But to go beyond that, how do we control it? ? How can we be sure that what we consider important is taken care of in the right way and sent to a distant destination?
We have ELA certification, an individual certification attesting to specific skills in Supply Chain Management and Logistics. We are currently adapting it to take into account the new requirements of CSRD, ESG and so on. This work is being carried out jointly by industry and academia, and will ensure that the person you hire meets the standards defined by the ELA and its members worldwide. This goes beyond any university certificate.
Luca SILIPO's keynote gives a different view of the Supply Chain, one that is both human and moving.
In this extract, our speaker of the day uses the example of coffee to show us that there are two ways of thinking about the Supply Chain:

Transformative Power of Supply Chains on Social Sustainability by Luca SILIPO, Chief Economist, Supply Chain Leader and Independent Thinker
It is this second axis that he has chosen to explore in greater depth, by appealing to our emotions, our memories and our relationship with objects. Luca Silipo demonstrates a hopeful vision for rethinking the future, taking into account the global impact of companies on the city and its inhabitants. A reflection on how to control the power of societal links and how to make them more powerful.

This publication, at the crossroads of Labs SupplyChain4Good and Digital&Technologies, meets the expectations of companies who no longer wish to choose between competitiveness and sustainability. To complete the scan of the 120 solutions on this radar, we organized a Webinar. Florian Borgobello, manager of Wavestone's Supply Chain practice, and Gilles Verdier, Supply Chain Leader Innovation at Michelin, explained their objectives, their approach and their use of the tool.
Solution radar: what for?
Companies are faced with the real challenge of decarbonizing their supply chains. To achieve this, there are many technical solutions available, but not all of them are equal. To provide a clearer picture, France Supply Chain and Wavestone have identified more than 120 offers and services on the market that meet a direct decarbonization objective.
We have focused on what we call primary and committed solutions. The former are easy to implement and mature, but do not benefit from a strong leverage effect on carbon emission reduction targets. The latter are committed and therefore more complex to deploy, requiring greater investment, but generating much greater results.
Classification of solution types according to impact, maturity, ease of implementation and cost criteria
The editors of the radar emphasized that the solution-oriented approach to decarbonizing the supply chain, which this publication is partly based on, is no substitute for deeper considerations, such as overhauling organizational models. Nonetheless, it remains a prerequisite if decarbonization plans are even to become a reality.
The radar presents companies (start-ups, major groups, pure players) offering marketable solutions and services, as well as inspiring initiatives specific to certain companies. The geographic scope of the analysis is France and Europe.
There are over 120 ideas to choose from, classified into 8 fields of application. Florian Borgobello, leader in the research and construction of the radar, recommends that you take stock of the situation using the tools listed in the "Measuring CO2 emissions" section, then implement your decarbonization plan based on the results gathered, and finally select solutions to meet this prioritized action plan, from the following categories:
Measuring CO2 emissions
Tools for analyzing and tracking greenhouse gas emissions (and other emissions) throughout the supply chain.
Green equipment for logistics
Technical solutions to reduce the environmental impact of intralogistics.
Green vehicles
Vehicle or means of transport (commercial vehicles and heavy goods vehicles) featuring technology that reduces the carbon footprint of a journey.
Sharing platform
Technology or service offering greater mutualization in the supply chain (last-mile delivery, reduction in empty transport, etc.).
Packaging
Technical solutions to reduce the environmental impact of packaging (excluding primary packaging).
Reverse logistics
Services or systems to implement and operate a circular flow logic (return flow management, etc.).
Building energy efficiency
Tools for monitoring and optimizing the energy consumption of logistics buildings to reduce their environmental impact.
Other
Solutions which are not included in the previous categories, but which offer significant advantages from a Green Supply Chain perspective.
The benefits of such a tool for a company: Michelin's testimonial
We're all trying to reconcile sustainable performance, innovation and resilience, and this radar helps us to do just that," says Gilles Verdier. "It has enabled me to identify potential partners in the jungle of supply. I'm constantly being asked to come up with solutions. This work gives me a clearer idea of what's going on. It has built up trust with players I didn't know, or some I knew a little bit about by looking at their pedigree."
He also explains that at Michelin, working in an ecosystem is seen as a strength. Whether with experts or companies of all sizes, knowing how to work with different partners on different themes is very important. "The whole benefit of the association and this type of sharing is that it's accessible, it's clear and it allows you to quickly get in touch."
The use of Green Radar Supply Chain is an essential response to contemporary business imperatives, urging companies to reconcile competitiveness and sustainability. Faced with the challenge of decarbonizing the Supply Chain, characterized by a myriad of technical solutions, this radar offers a valuable cartography, listing over 120 options. Testimonials, notably from Michelin, underline the usefulness of this tool as a catalyst facilitating the transition to a Green Supply Chain, fostering fruitful collaborations and thus helping to shape a more sustainable future for companies and the planet.
