A COMMUNITY AT THE SERVICE OF SUPPLY CHAIN TRANSFORMATION
Just as fundamental as it is complex, the subject of the digitalization of the supply chain is at the heart of France Supply Chain's thinking and actions. Focus on its dedicated Lab, with its manager François Martin-Festa, VP End to End Offer Data of the Schneider Electric group.
"Creating a forum for exchange, discussion and investigation on the digital transformation" was the primary ambition of the Digital Lab and its instigator Jean-Michel Guarneri, former President of Aslog. To accelerate the development of this community and before handing over to his successor, Yann de Feraudy, the latter will call on François Martin-Festa of the Schneider Electric group to lead the Lab in the spring of 2019. " Our ambition was to bring together major French industrialists around their digital issues and to advance the awareness, knowledge and experience sharing of these members", underlines François Martin-Festa.
The first project initiated by the Lab is materialized by the realization of a digital panorama, published in June 2019 and presented at the congress of the association: "this work has brought together a number of players, in particular Wavestone, Hardis and industrialists.".
Starting in September, the Lab unveils an annual program and gradually welcomes new members, while being structured around six major themes:
Thanks to this organization,
, the community now includes about fifteen industrialists and consultants.
On this last point, we have noted that many companies innovate, set up POCs (''proof of Concept''), but very few then go to scale. We want to accompany them in this transition. In our view, digital represents a set of capabilities that can fundamentally transform the supply chain in terms of the value it can bring to the customer, or to the company in terms of efficiency and resilience.
Jean-Marc Soulier,
Supply Chain Practice Lead of Wavestone.
We have structured ourselves by having a leader emerge on each of the 6 chosen themes. We meet every six weeks, coordinate our agendas and each of us discusses the news and progress of his or her sub-lab.

Through these six axes, the Digital and Technologies Lab of France Supply Chain intends to think about improving the knowledge of its members but also and above all to try to bring a concrete entry point for companies around use cases, meetings, testimonials, successful or not, and to offer in fine "a forum cleared of all mercantile considerations", as François Martin-Festa put it. With two new members from the Rexel and Decathlon groups joining the LAB at the end of the year, the LAB will continue in 2021 to animate and question the community through a dozen conferences, exchanges and reflections:

Faced with the lack of attractiveness of the sector, how can vocations be created? What levers could be used to to enhance the value of the professions and change mentalities?
However, e-commerce is at the crossroads of many Supply Chain paths:
Technology... to forecast demand, to take, allocate or execute orders, to allocate inventory...
At France Supply Chain, we know that technology and tools are important, but what is most important is the internal or external teams that we lead that make and will make the difference.
It is by sharing our experiences and co-constructing new solutions that we will make progress in our businesses.
Our manifesto, written at the end of the work carried out during the summer of 2020, is the materialization of our project that we want to be sustainable, in a changing world, where our businesses, highlighted in 2020, are eagerly awaited. This manifesto is proof that together we can go further. Let's trace our path.
Very friendly,
The Supply Chain "Made in France", we want it to be innovative, enterprising, fully aware of its ecological footprint and the new demands of consumers. We want it to be stronger, bigger and more decisive. And always profoundly human and vibrant, like all those who keep its pulse beating on a daily basis.
Our Supply Chain model is agile, connected, resilient. It contributes to the local development of companies as well as to their growth by enabling them to export worldwide. The example of national champions such as Michelin, L'Oréal and Schneider are clear evidence of this. Our sector now employs 1.8 million people in France and we do not intend to stop there.
The shift to a more sustainable production method is inevitable. All the indicators point to the urgency to act, with the Covid-19 health crisis in mind. We are aware of this and we want to be an active part of the change.
Supply that preserves resources, less polluting transport...
Every choice we make is a responsibility.
Within France Supply Chain, the managers of more than 450 companies exchange and find together solutions to fully succeed in the transformation of their companies. The "LABS" that we run are great places for dialogue and progress: best practices, conferences, workshops on digital or sustainable development.
All of these interactions feed in depth into the work of those who are driving the evolution of the profession. A profession that offers first jobs, career stepping stones, and qualifying paths, a profession that gives everyone a chance, and where no barriers stand in the way of success. This is what the Supply Chain is all about, all of which contribute to the sector's influence.
