Happy New Year 2021

Dear friends,

I hope that you will have succeeded in spending a wonderful holiday season with your loved ones chers !
For 2021, I wish you success in business, happiness in family and friendships, and of course good health.
We have realized that we are vulnerable to the "little things" because, like every year, 2020 has had its share of surprises.

Among these surprises and consequences of the health crisis, we have seen exceptional growth (in 3 or 4 digits) in the e-commerce volumes that our internal and external teams have faced.

However, e-commerce is at the crossroads of many Supply Chain paths:

    • Customer Satisfaction ... for meeting the very short deadlines to deliver a "perfect" order...
    • Technology... to forecast demand, to take, allocate or execute orders, to allocate inventory...
    • Omnicanality to leverage physical stores or multiply delivery modes
    • The Logistics Strategy of sub-contracting or internalization, mechanization or not, to get through the peaks .
    • Sustainable Development with the impact of non-returnable packaging, overpackaging and the negative externalities of urban deliveries.

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 progress in our business.

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,

Yann de Feraudy

THE SUPPLY CHAIN " MADE IN FRANCE ":
WHAT IF THE WORLD CHANGES?

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.

DEVELOP, INNOVATE: A LOCAL DYNAMISM THAT TAKES ON BOARD

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.

AN URGENCY AND A STRONG DESIRE: BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

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.

AT THE HEART OF OUR COMPANIES: BUILDING TOMORROW'S WORLD TOGETHER

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.
