MANIFESTO FOR A FRUGAL AND DESIRABLE SUPPLY CHAIN

Have you read it?

Welcome to our new members from Mobivia and LABORATOIRES THEA, who have joined us since our last newsletter.

Behind the scenes

New project manager to support LABS activities

I'm Mervé AKPINAR, and I'm delighted to have joined the France Supply Chain association and its members in May 2024. I'm in charge of the ETI-PME and Digital & Technologies Labs, as well as the Asian chapters. In my previous experience, I had the opportunity to work in sales forecasting at DIM and Samsung, and as a logistics service provider coordinator at Nestlé.

Today, I'm really looking forward to contributing to France Supply Chain's future projects and to continuing to take on new challenges with such a dynamic, committed team who are passionate about the world of Supply Chain.

Supply chain specificities in East Africa

Xavier Ameil contributed to Decathlon's development in Morocco before moving to Kenya until the end of 2021 to open "own" stores as in the rest of sub-Saharan Africa. In this interview, he presents the African production and distribution model and footprint, then focuses on setting up distribution hubs in Africa. He also discusses a region that is generally less well known to the French than the rest of Africa.
