Welcome to our new members from LOCUS ROBOTICS, SPL, STACI, EPALIA, BONY and ANJAC, who have joined the association since our last newsletter!

As good Supply Chain Managers, we decided to optimize the time and travel of our European colleagues. The European Synergy Workshops were born!

The day after For Supply and Beyond, some of you will be taking part in workshops to share and connect with the European champions present the day before.

Our aim is to join forces to influence the essential changes in supply chains.

The 3 workshops will cover issues such as digitalization / human resources management and inclusion / business sustainability.

In 2021, France Supply Chain published its first Manifesto, projecting itself into 2030 in a world of more sustainable supply chains. At the time, as COVID came to an end, the idea of the "next world" delighted the most committed among us, and it was easy to project ourselves into a radically different near future.

2 years on, it's clear that little or nothing has changed, and that the world of tomorrow is a long way off. Nevertheless, supply chain managers are aware of the role they have to play in the fight against climate change, and that every tenth of a degree, and therefore every effort, counts.

A strong conviction has emerged at France Supply Chain: the Supply Chain of the future must and will be desirable , between frugality, circularity and collaboration, the key elements and foundations of the appeal launched in the Manifeste 2023.

Welcome to our new members from STYPERS CONSULTING, EMBALL'ISO and CHAMPAGNE BILLECART-SALMON who have joined the association since our last newsletter! 

On the school side, students from IAE PARIS SORBONNE that we salute.

October marks a turning point for the permanent team: the departure of Cassandre 😢, our communications trainee for the past 2 years! She will have initiated the professionalization of the association's communications and brought her help to every member of the team, always with a smile, a zest for life and her touch of Oriental-Parisian wisdom.

Life is made up of encounters, and Cassandre is once again proof of this. It's with great emotion that we wish her the best of luck on the road ahead, and many rich discoveries on the other side of the Atlantic. 

See you soon for a drink, a café-crème or a lunch break at the Palace!

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results".

Since our last issue, the editorial by our Chairman, Yann de Feraudy , has appeared on Voxlog and generated a great deal of enthusiastic response. The message of this paper is summed up quite well by the preceding quote, which we owe to Albert Einstein.

Let's look back at the proposals made in " Innovation in the Supply Chain: Slow Logistics " :

1️⃣ Slowing down flows: reduce the speed of heavy goods vehicles on freeways from 90 km/h to 80 km/h to reduce CO2 emissions (- 580 kT CO2 eq./year in France).

2️⃣ Reasonable delivery: opt for a 48-hour lead time to encourage pooling and inform consumers of the environmental impacts of "express" delivery.

3️⃣ Cost of carbon: value the tonne of carbon at €200 in the financial evaluation of projects from 2024.

4️⃣ Multimodality : reintroduce rail and value the choice of ecological solutions in the Eco-score.

5️⃣ Urban delivery: reorganize urban logistics with optimization models and calls for tender to maintain competition.

Welcome to our new members from the two Grandes Ecoles that have joined us since our last newsletter: ICAM GRAND PARIS SUD and NEOMA BS.

The team is preparing a unique event in an equally stunning location! Make a note of the date:

December 12, 2023

2 pm to 10:30 pm

The day will be resolutely focused on the future and Europe, with the ELA Award ceremony and other noteworthy speeches, which we'll be revealing to you next week. 

After its first 2 articles in VOXLOG magazine " The Supply Chain to Change the World "and " Circular Supply Chains for a Sustainable World "next Tuesday, Yann de Feraudy, President of France Supply Chain, will be tackling the thorny issue of sobriety and even "slowing down " Supply Chains.

The association is determined to contribute to the debate in order to positively influence the decisions to be taken.

This 3rd episode, " Innovation in the Supply Chain: Slow Logistics ", will be published on September 26 in VOXLOG and on our networks. It will propose measures to rapidly reduce carbon emissions and the environmental impact of supply chains, in order to move collectively and resolutely towards greater sobriety and social responsibility.

Welcome to our new members, FRACTAL Partners, BALYO and INETUM having joined the association since our last newsletter! A new training organization has also joined us, IGR-IAEUniversité de Rennes.

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!

All these valuable resources can now be consulted from a single, modern and intuitive platform. We've designed a search engine that lets you filter by keyword and/or category (e.g. Decarbonation, Collaboration & Partner Relations, Training, Professions & Remuneration).

Now you can also easily find resources available in English.

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.

Transport goes digital

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.

ELA for the future

Didier Granger, CEO of OEMServices, has been elected Vice-President of the ELA (European Logistics Association). Thanks to this new governance, France Supply Chain is taking an active part in the new development of a European community for Logistics and Supply Chain Management.

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 this^second 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. 

JF Jean-François Rey, PMO of France Supply Chain (on the right in the 2nd plan with the Lab Digital team during a dinner on the banks of the Seine)

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

What are you waiting for to join them? 

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.

On April 6, they organized a webinar to present their work and the benefits of joining the communities: informed exchanges, free benchmarks, presence of companies of all sizes and sectors, etc. It's not too late to discover our Labs!

Nearly 600 members have already downloaded this publication which outlines 4 new key professions for the future as well as recruitment trends. Discover the results of an original study on the human resources of tomorrow's Supply Chain.

CO2 measurement in freight transport

Freight transport is one of the levers for a low-carbon transition and the train is an efficient and fast solution, but it is not the only one. In this replay, which is the result of exchanges between shippers and freight forwarders over thelast 12 months within the SupplyChain4Good Lab, you will discover the factors on which to act and how to manage them.

Get involved in the Digital & Technologies Lab!

2 projects are being relaunched within the Lab:

•  IOT & Blockchain with the ambition to jointly treat these 2 subjects taken separately until now. The first focus will naturally be on traceability.
•  Cybersecurity of the Supply Chain, which will initially focus on theattack via third parties or thecrisis exercise.

Workshops will be organized during the year so that everyone can share their experience, questions and knowledge. The goal is to create a real place of constructive and beneficial exchanges for all at the frequency that suits you. Are you willing and interested?
