By Marie-Laure Furgala, Director of ISLI Kedge Business School
30th ISLI Forum - 20 May
Supply Chain: The New STAR of COMEX
In a context where instability is the new norm, recent crises have shown the strategic role of the Supply Chain and its ability to adapt. The next ISLI forum, which will take place on 20 May 2022 on the Kedge Business School campus in Talence, will prepare professionals for the coming changes with a programme rich in effective and innovative solutions.
Soaring raw material prices, energy and transport costs, lack of industrial capacity, sourcing problems, etc., the aftermath of COVID-19 and the arrival of the Russo-Ukrainian crisis have exacerbated tensions. They have reinforced the importance of creating a resilient supply chain from sourcing to end-of-life management, all within a new sustainable and traceable ecosystem. Companies realised the role that the supply chain could play in addressing these challenges. Supply Chain has been propelled from a simple support function to a strategic function. It is now becoming the "New Star of the COMEX".
This is the main theme of the next ISLI (Institut Supérieur de Logistique Industriel) forum. The objective: to project the sustainable Supply Chain of tomorrow and to present it as a real lever of transformation capable of meeting the challenges of the next decades.
This special edition also aims to celebrate the network of 4500 alumni who testify daily to the enthusiasm for Supply Chain in industry. Organised by Kedge's ISLI Programme, the themes addressed in this Forum are developed with the support of the Centre of Excellence Supply Chain (CESIT) and its four major research laboratories. Key issues will be addressed from an academic perspective in order to provide industry experts with effective and innovative solutions.
Four 4 round tables are scheduled:
Building a more resilient Supply Chain: three experts will assess the levers available to build a resilient Supply Chain in anticipation and prevention of risks.
The implications of responsible packaging in the supply chain: More sustainable packaging solutions exist, provided they fulfil their primary function of containing, preserving and protecting finished products or meeting the challenge of a circular economy for packaging.
Control towers: The golden age of data. Concrete cases of a Control Tower (advanced data visualisation system), feedback and consideration of the sustainability of economic activities.
People at the heart of the transformation. How to ensure a transfer of technical skills from employees to top managers? What strategies are implemented to raise awareness, attract, train and retain talent?
HIGHLIGHTS
La Poste takes a new step in local logistics
This week, La Poste took a further step in local logistics with the launch of the Log'issimo brand. Faced with a significant drop in mail and an increase in goods deliveries, this public service has been working on transformation and diversification for the past ten years. With a network of 120 logistics platforms and 5,300 postman-collectors throughout France, this new formula aims to meet all types of needs. However, the company has identified three markets with strong development potential that require the development of specific solutions: urgent spare parts, particularly for the automotive sector, which is very concerned by this need for responsiveness. Fresh food, with the delivery of meal trays to serve the elderly, small school canteens in rural areas, and drives. Finally, BtoB logistics for the restocking of shops from regional or national stocks. With a turnover of more than 360 million euros in 2021, this activity would already concern more than 100,000 companies. It should be noted that La Poste's ambition is to reach 1 billion euros by 2030 with Log'issimo. The brand is divided into 5 families of solutions: Log'issimo Fresh, Log'issimo Retail, Log'issimo Sur-Mesure, Log'issimo Facilities and Log'issimo Santé.
