Elorri Thicoïpé with Françoise Lieuré at the ISLI 2023 Forum (photo woodoproduction)
After Françoise and Jean-François, it's Elorri (Hawthorn in Basque = a bramble with white flowers, a perfect illustration of myself 😉 ), the latest to take up the pen. Before joining the association's communications department, my career path was quite conventional: mechanical and production engineering school, supply chain management and project engineering in the aeronautics industry, until the day when... I lost the flame, as some people say.
In short, I was looking for a new challenge that would get my creative juices flowing, and then my path, or rather, my eyes crossed a LinkedIn post on Blockchain X Supply Chain. My curiosity was piqued! I took part in my 1st France Supply Chain webinar in July 2022, got in touch with the permanent team and started in August.
But what exactly for?
I joined FSC because I was, and still am, convinced that your work and actions would benefit from everyone knowing about them. I would so much have liked to have access to all these tools, studies and webinars in order to progress, innovate and renew my outlook.
I've been an official member of the team since March, and I'm really enjoying it! I'm fascinated by all the subjects, I'm learning every day, and I'd like to thank you for that, for all the material you provide. Now it's my turn to bring it all to light, and the 1st stage begins today with the new Resource Bank. But we have more surprises in store for you at the end of the year!

Who are these women in Supply Chain?
We know that the Supply Chain is sorely lacking in women, which is why France Supply Chain has decided to shake things up by launching a Community of Women in Supply Chain.
On June 7, nearly 100 people attended a webinar on :
Career management
Advice between professionals BUT also between women
Their everyday inspirations
Who are they?
Join Annie Saillard, Stéphanie Rott and Marie-Laure Furgala for a Q&A in the replay.
At the end of May, Lab Digital & Technologies published a white paper on the digitalization of transport. For the launch, Jérôme Bour, President of DDS, and Geoffrey Thiery, Senior Supply Chain Consultant at Wavestone, presented the feedback and other information on which this publication is based.
Several topics were on the agenda:
How can transport be integrated into an increasingly complex and blocked IT ecosystem?
What's the best strategy for successfully implementing a digital transport solution?
What gains can we expect?
And many more questions were answered by the speakers. To watch the replay and discover the answers to the questions, see the article dedicated to the event.

France Supply Chain : One year already... ! Passionate about Supply Chain for more than 30 years, I arrived at France Supply Chain last June, as PMO, to coordinate and pilot all the productions of our different Labs. I didn't see the time passing... The adventure is rich, exciting, and energizing!
My first surprises:
I thought I was the only one passionate about Supply Chain. Wrong: I found a lot of enthusiastic, committed, and expert Supply Chain people, in France and internationally.
I thought I was a senior in Supply Chain...and well I found more senior, and also older... They will recognize themselves. Thank you for giving me thissecond youth.
I thought I was in a man's world...and I'm the only man on our permanent staff. Even if there is still a long way to go for women in our professions, it feels good to be at the heart of this change.
I thought that young people were not interested in Supply Chain, but they just don't know it...What a pleasure to work with our schools and universities to explain our jobs and train the new generation
I thought geeks didn't know anything about jobs. ChatGPT explained the opposite to me.
I thought that our companies were all in a logic of profit and growth, I note with happiness that many of them work concretely for a greener Supply Chain, in the very short term
I could continue my list of discoveries... What I simply want to say is that I feel very privileged to work on our major Supply Chain issues of tomorrow, among experts from our 450 member companies.
It is a real pleasure to be part of this great and beautiful community. Long live collective intelligence for a more efficient, more human and greener Supply Chain.

As part of the SupplyChain4Good Lab, the Rocher Group and FM Logistic have joined forces to produce a guide on ways to prevent arduousness in warehouses, through two of their employees: Benjamin Muller (Rocher Group) and Romain Chevallet (FM Logistic).
"This guide for everyone is the result of a successful collaboration between our two companies. Indeed, we were personally involved and greatly contributed to the realization of this guide by conducting a survey among thirty or so FSC member companies. Both of us are strongly committed to working in the same direction, namely the improvement of working conditions, and we have created a common dynamic through two key elements: commitment and sharing.
Now, after this successful experience, we would both like to continue this collaboration by creating a community of preventionists in the logistics sector, in order to work together and find solutions to our common problems. Testimony of Benjamin Muller and Romain Chevallet collected on the occasion of the publication of the Toolbook of good practices
The Labs of France Supply Chain are carriers of a diversified expertise in Supply Chain management. At the heart of production, our members create and exchange concrete experiences and best practices.

Behind the scenes
Last October, we welcomed Françoise Lieuré in the permanent team. In January 2023, she organized the coming of France Supply Chain at the Studyrama exhibition. We had a stand with the help of the members of the Lab Jeunes as well as a round table on the Supply Chain professions.
" My missions are to create links between schools, research and training organizations and members in order to match the needs of companies to adapt the curricula. I am also in charge of promoting the Supply Chain sector among the younger generations in order to develop a pool of talent and skills for these jobs in tension. I ensure the relationship with the community of young people through the animation of the Lab Jeunes in connection with the Lab RH. " Françoise Lieuré, Project Manager for school-company relations

Over the 5 years that François Martin-Festa has been leading the Digital Lab of our association, the maturity of our members has continued to progress, driven by the continuous exchanges within the Lab: Basic maturity through data consolidation, tracking, ERP/TMS/WMS deployment or automation. Maturity of use cases such as performance and process analysis, extended supply chain visibility, CO2 and even the beginning of AI implementation.
An obvious fact was also highlighted by Covid: given the complexity of our businesses, we can no longer manage our Supply Chain with Excel files.
The good news is that digital solutions for Supply Chain have also gained in maturity. False promises, such as certain AI topics for example, are starting to be filtered out and robust use cases are better shared among us.
The downside is that resistance to change has never been so much of an obstacle to these projects. Education and support are therefore more than ever a central issue.
And what could be more effective than an active and united community to address it!
François and our president, Yann De Feraudy, have asked me to take over from François and to lead the Digital Lab. I will continue to lead the AI project directly because, as you know, I already have a strong commitment to AI and "ethical" AI outside France Supply Chain.
We will continue to build on the momentum of the Digital Lab and focus on the priorities defined by the Board at the end of 2022, such as strengthening our community
The next step will be to consolidate the use cases that have been developed by the various Lab Digital projects. I encourage you all to join us to share your experiences and contribute to this theme that has such an impact on all our businesses!
