France Supply Chain International exports to the Americas
400 companies and over 3,000 supply chain employees. France Supply Chain brings together many players in the sector in France and elsewhere. Its international division, which now has new chapters in America, is aimed at its employees throughout the world.
To further anchor FrSCInter and its chapters in the "FrSC movement
Launched at the beginning of the year, France Supply Chain International is to animate 30 chapters (or clubs) in the 5 major regions of the world, namely Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas and the Middle East. At the heart of this large-scale project lies a conviction born from the raison d'être of France Supply Chain: to put the supply chain at the heart of the strategy of companies for a sustainable performance, for a more responsible world. And in order for the movement, initiated by the association and supported by all its members, to take on an international dimension, France Supply Chain International has already started its deployment all over the world.
The Morocco, Kenya and Ivory Coast chapters were launched on 21 January. Today, it is time for the Americas. "This is an immense territory of more than one billion people, made up of 35 countries that vary greatly in terms of problems, maturity in terms of supply chain and crisis management. There is a real dichotomy between the North and the South with regard to Covid. The pandemic has had a lasting impact on our supply chain, so there is no shortage of issues that we will tackle one by one, depending on the territory," says Anne-Élisabeth Duchesne, Senior VP AM Latin Market Line Operations at Geodis, based in Nashville, Tennessee.
America & Supply Chain: a common subject and multiple issues
Through a network that its members wish to be "friendly and benevolent", three objectives will animate these new American clubs:
Welcoming and exchanging with new entrants to these markets
Sharing know-how and experience
Monitoring technological and environmental developments in the sector
"France Supply Chain offers a unique opportunity for exchange, a real asset to connect our teams and succeed in our regional anchoring while sharing our experience", says Annie Saillard, VP Rolling Stock & Component PL AME of Alstom in Canada.
The first chapters in the North of the continent around the cities of Montreal, New York and Miami will open in 2021. The next chapters, focusing on the South via the territories of Seattle, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Sao Paulo and San Diego de Chile, will open in 2022. In the North, in New York, Laurent Mialhe, SVP GBSC of Estée Lauder, will welcome the chapter. In Montreal, it will be Albert Goodhue, partner at GCL and finally Anne Pasquier, Senior VP Supply Chain & Global Sourcing of Starboard Cruise Services within the LVMH Group in Miami. The line managers will be put to work very quickly, as a kick-off will take place on 29 April. Motivation, dynamism, desire, expertise and exchanges will be on the menu of this first meeting presented by Anne-Elisabeth Duchesne as "an hour of discussion to identify the needs and expectations of those present, to define the subjects to be dealt with and to plan the next steps". And for all those who wish to join the movement, which is open to all the teams of the association's member companies, there is only one address:
