Supply Chain Monthly #02

Find this month : 

• The relationship between schools and companies with Françoise Lieuré
• New leader of the Digital & Technologies Lab
• Supporting companies in their supply chain transformation with our Lab ETI/PME
• Recruiting Supply Chain talent
• What to expect in the coming months

Last October, we welcomed Françoise Lieuré in the permanent team. In January 2023, she organized the coming of France Supply Chain at the Studyrama exhibition. We had a stand with the help of the members of the Lab Jeunes as well as a round table on the Supply Chain professions. 

" My missions are to create links between schools, research and training organizations and members in order to match the needs of companies to adapt the curricula. I am also in charge of promoting the Supply Chain sector among the younger generations in order to develop a pool of talent and skills for these jobs in tension. I ensure the relationship with the community of young people through the animation of the Lab Jeunes in connection with the Lab RH. " Françoise Lieuré, Project Manager for school-company relations

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!
