France Supply Chain and ELA announcements: a look back at For Supply and Beyond

Written by webm@ster the . Published in News-semi-public-privees.

Chairman's words

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.

Manifesto for a supply chain

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.

Congress highlights
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:

  • Chapter 1

    A sequence of actions

    that lead to a café

  • Chapter 2

    A series of people

    that lead to a café

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.

Why and how to use Green Radar Supply Chain?

Written by webm@ster the . Published in News-semi-public-privees, Uncategorized.

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.

Download the radar

What does this publication contain?

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.

Have you worked with a company that doesn't appear on this radar? Would you like to share your recent experience with us? Don't hesitate to contact us.

CO2 measurement in freight transport: why and how to measure?

Written by webm@ster the . Published in News-semi-public-privees, Uncategorized.

Supplychain4Good Lab

This webinar is the result of exchanges conducted over the last 12 months within the SupplyChain4Good Lab between shippers and freight forwarders. The latest IPCC report urges us to act even faster, to deploy solutions to measure and reduce CO2 emissions .

Freight transport is a lever for the low-carbon transition and the train is an efficient and fast solution but it is not the only one. In this replay, you will discover other factors on which to act and how to manage them. Indeed, carbon reduction actions present a major data management challenge.

QUESTIONS / ANSWERS from participants :

  • Why doesn't Renault include the river mode in its modal shift objective? Inland waterways have a long history of transporting vehicles and CKDs, and offer large transport capacities on large-gauge routes (Seine, Rhône, northern and eastern network).

    For the distribution of vehicles this was studied, but we were confronted with several difficulties: The first one, the barges for the transport of vehicles are specific and there are not, currently in France, barges available and in state. The second difficulty concerns the economic equation vs. CO2 gain, which was not satisfactory because we do not have balanced flows. For parts, after-sales logistics is beginning to study river transport to deliver to cities, but for the moment it is a study phase.

  • Who are the accredited bodies that can certify "CO2 accounting"?

    Statutory auditors are currently responsible for certifying extra-financial performance declarations (EPD) and in the future will be responsible for certifying CSRD reporting - these declarations include greenhouse gas emission indicators. In addition to the annual report, there are also lists of accredited verifiers for more specific product or service publications; for example, for product life cycle emissions assessments, the EPD program qualifies a list of independent verifiers that can be accessed at this link: LIST: Independent Verifiers | EPD International (environdec.com) 

  • For rail freight, emissions in France are much lower than those presented, in WTW: less than 2 g CO2 / ton.km for Fret SNCF. Can you please specify this? Shippers, carriers or freight forwarders can ask the rail operators.

    For rail freight, the energy mix has an impact on the level of emissions: diesel or electric traction, as well as the source of electricity production (coal-fired, nuclear, green...) - hence the added value of using national emission factors. For example, the emission factor for a 1,000-ton electric train (40% utilization rate) will be 2.5gCO2/t.km in France, but will reach 16.5gCO2/t.km in Germany, or 33.9gCO2/t.km in South Africa. (page 11) 

  • Have you done any modeling on BtoC deliveries which are less heavy but more frequent?

    The study conducted focused on BtoB deliveries. We have considered a scenario of 100 tons of goods. (page 13) 

  • If individually these measures reduce emissions, don't they risk increasing them by rebound effect? The decrease in consumption leads to cheaper energy and encourages increased use, or even frees up new use cases

    Yes, it is possible, but we can hope that regulatory incentives, combined with pressure from the end customer to decarbonize, will limit this rebound effect. 

  • In the tonnage, do you take into account the weight of the trailer (for road) or the weight of the container (for sea)?

    The weight of the vehicle is taken into account in the emissions, but not the tonnage of the goods. (page 13) 

  • 87% reduction by train, do we take into account the pre- and post-transportation by truck?

    For this scenario (page 13) we have taken a station-to-station journey (Paris to Hamburg), not including the pre and post but which, in relation to the total distance, remains negligible (in the scenario retained from Paris to Hamburg). 

  • Is the truck fill rate really taken into account in the calculation of the emission factor?

    In this case, yes, insofar as this exercise involves allocating 100t of goods to a number of vehicles that will vary according to the fill rate. You can refer to the scenario presented on page 13. 

  • Is rail the most efficient? To what extent? What are the CO2 emissions per ton transported?

    Yes, we are talking about CO2/t.km. For the order of magnitude you can refer to page 11 which presents the estimates of GLEC Framework. 

  • Are there priority levers?

    All the levers are important and can be combined. Modal shift remains the priority lever when possible. You can refer to page 12 for an exhaustive list of reduction levers (load optimization, fuel mix, etc.).

How to accelerate the implementation of rail transport?

Written by webm@ster the . Published in News-semi-public-privees.

AND IF OUR GOODS TOOK THE TRAIN?

In 2000, France had a 17% share of the rail freight market, compared to 10.7% in 2023. In 23 years, rail transport has undergone a sharp decline due to competition but also to the choice of shippers to move to the road.

Since 2020, the government, businesses and society in general have become aware of their carbon footprint and are striving to move towards decarbonized transportation.

With this in mind, a dynamic around rail transport has accelerated but many questions are holding back companies. In order to answer them, our Lab SC4Good andAUTF organized a morning session on February 8th. During this morning, several quality conferences allowed to know better :

RPP Workshops

Written by webm@ster the . Published in News-semi-public-privees.

Dear members,

From January 2023, the Digital Lab of France Supply Chain will launch a series of workshops on RPA (Robotic Process Automation) in the Supply Chain.

These monthly workshops (every second Tuesday of the month, from 5:00 to 6:00 pm) will be an opportunity to go through the issues and impacts of RPA in the processes, but especially to be able to exchange in a pragmatic way on the best practices, the methodology and the tools related to the implementation of automation in companies.

Each workshop will be dedicated to a specific theme on which everyone will be able to share their experience, their questions, their knowledge and their curiosity, the goal being to create a real place for dialogue, accelerating performance.

Here is a sample of the topics that will be covered this year:

Automation journey: best practices for a successful start-up

 Governance, competencies, pilot, Continuous Improvement (CI), change management, top-down & bottom-up approaches, partners, etc.

Use the right tools to identify use cases

Process mining, task mining, resources (business analysts & CI), lean management, etc.

How to scale up

Citizen developer, maintenance management, 24/7 support, evangelization & change management

How to capitalize on RPA by coupling it with other technologies

OCR (Optical Character Recognition), AI, Data & GCP (Cloud Platform), Python developments, Talend, chatbots, etc.

RPA as a lever for today's and tomorrow's HR challenges

How to create a harmonious and performing human+digital environment, RPA to overcome the lack of manpower, to remove drudgery at work, to attract talents, to identify new skills, etc.

And many more...

You can find all the possible themes in the attached document, which will be selected and prioritized by the working group during the workshops. In addition, there will be webinars will be planned during the year, which will be essentially oriented on Supply Chain use cases.

We count on you to join this initiative and bring your rich contribution. The RPA site will be managed by Virginie Fongond - FM LOGISTIC.
