• Supporting companies in their supply chain transformation with our Lab ETI/PME
• Recruiting Supply Chain talent
• What to expect in the coming months

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!
