France Supply Chain : One year already... ! Passionate about Supply Chain for more than 30 years, I arrived at France Supply Chain last June, as PMO, to coordinate and pilot all the productions of our different Labs. I didn't see the time passing... The adventure is rich, exciting, and energizing! 

My first surprises: 

• I thought I was the only one passionate about Supply Chain. Wrong: I found a lot of enthusiastic, committed, and expert Supply Chain people, in France and internationally. 
• I thought I was a senior in Supply Chain...and well I found more senior, and also older... They will recognize themselves. Thank you for giving me this^second youth.
• I thought I was in a man's world...and I'm the only man on our permanent staff. Even if there is still a long way to go for women in our professions, it feels good to be at the heart of this change.
• I thought that young people were not interested in Supply Chain, but they just don't know it...What a pleasure to work with our schools and universities to explain our jobs and train the new generation
• I thought geeks didn't know anything about jobs. ChatGPT explained the opposite to me. 
• I thought that our companies were all in a logic of profit and growth, I note with happiness that many of them work concretely for a greener Supply Chain, in the very short term

I could continue my list of discoveries... What I simply want to say is that I feel very privileged to work on our major Supply Chain issues of tomorrow, among experts from our 450 member companies. 

It is a real pleasure to be part of this great and beautiful community. Long live collective intelligence for a more efficient, more human and greener Supply Chain.

As part of the SupplyChain4Good Lab, the Rocher Group and FM Logistic have joined forces to produce a guide on ways to prevent arduousness in warehouses, through two of their employees: Benjamin Muller (Rocher Group) and Romain Chevallet (FM Logistic).

"This guide for everyone is the result of a successful collaboration between our two companies. Indeed, we were personally involved and greatly contributed to the realization of this guide by conducting a survey among thirty or so FSC member companies. Both of us are strongly committed to working in the same direction, namely the improvement of working conditions, and we have created a common dynamic through two key elements: commitment and sharing.  

Now, after this successful experience, we would both like to continue this collaboration by creating a community of preventionists in the logistics sector, in order to work together and find solutions to our common problems. Testimony of Benjamin Muller and Romain Chevallet collected on the occasion of the publication of the Toolbook of good practices

What are you waiting for to join them? 

The Labs of France Supply Chain are carriers of a diversified expertise in Supply Chain management. At the heart of production, our members create and exchange concrete experiences and best practices.

On April 6, they organized a webinar to present their work and the benefits of joining the communities: informed exchanges, free benchmarks, presence of companies of all sizes and sectors, etc. It's not too late to discover our Labs!

Nearly 600 members have already downloaded this publication which outlines 4 new key professions for the future as well as recruitment trends. Discover the results of an original study on the human resources of tomorrow's Supply Chain.

CO2 measurement in freight transport

Freight transport is one of the levers for a low-carbon transition and the train is an efficient and fast solution, but it is not the only one. In this replay, which is the result of exchanges between shippers and freight forwarders over thelast 12 months within the SupplyChain4Good Lab, you will discover the factors on which to act and how to manage them.

Get involved in the Digital & Technologies Lab!

2 projects are being relaunched within the Lab:

•  IOT & Blockchain with the ambition to jointly treat these 2 subjects taken separately until now. The first focus will naturally be on traceability.
•  Cybersecurity of the Supply Chain, which will initially focus on theattack via third parties or thecrisis exercise.

Workshops will be organized during the year so that everyone can share their experience, questions and knowledge. The goal is to create a real place of constructive and beneficial exchanges for all at the frequency that suits you. Are you willing and interested?
