First higher education in logistics at ISLI Bordeaux
1st Manifesto
Creation of the SUPPLY CHAIN 4 GOOD endowment fund
TheAssociation des logisticiens d'entreprise was created at a time when the European Community still only had 6 countries, the French retail industry had 124 hypermarkets and the globalization of trade was in its infancy. The logistics industry was limited to 3 professions: Supply, Warehousing and Transport. Despite this, its members believe in the growth potential of these activities for companies.
Over the years, the functions have evolved, driven by the development of European and international flows, the explosion of retail and especially the spread of information technology. The term Supply Chain appeared for the first time in an article in the Financial Times in 1982. For the members of ASLOG, it is essential that the country trains high level students to all the new techniques, tools and jobs that will constitute the future of logistics. In 1984, the first higher education in logistics in France was launched in Bordeaux at the ISLI, under the impulse of the association.
In 1992,ASLOG renamed itself theFrench Association for Logistics. Through this change of name, its members wish to act so that logistics becomes a major element of the competitiveness of the country.
French Association of Supply Chain and Logistics: the turning point
The principles of the Supply Chain are constantly evolving and spreading throughout the world. The term logistics inherited from the army no longer covers all the technical issues and missions of the Supply Chain nor all the jobs in the sector. This is why in 2014,ASLOG became the French Association of Supply Chain and Logistics.
France Supply Chain by Aslog
In 2020, this observation is even more important and our name does not correspond anymore to what we want to build together with all the actors: the Supply Chain of tomorrow for our companies and for our country. We then modify our statutes for France Supply Chain by Aslog and we set the following priorities:
the strategic and vital aspect of the Supply Chain: the management committees of companies and public authorities
schools to advance supply chain training and support researchers by bringing companies and research together
implementation through Labs and facilitate the transformation of companies of all sizes and all sectors
Around 5 convictions:
Putting the customer experience (listening, empathy, use) at the heart of operations
Be more resilient, knowing how to anticipate risks and manage crises
To be a vector of value creation for the entire chain (stakeholders and external parties)
Better recruiting, improving attractiveness and new skills in the profession
To have a positive impact on the environment and society
The expertise of our members and the involvement of the association make it the privileged interlocutor of the French institutions and public authorities on all issues related to the sector.
"I believe that sustainable supply chains will change the world
Throughout our history, we have been led to question the purpose of our work. From these reflections was born our manifesto, a major document for theassociation that finally formalizes our values and objectives.
CRET-LOG (Centre de REcherche sur le Transport et la LOGistique) and AIRL-SCM (Association Internationale de Recherche en Logistique et Supply Chain Management): building bridges between practitioners and researchers, mutually enriching each other, working together to design sustainable supply chains.
ALICE (Alliance for Logistics Innovation through Collaboration in Europe): share best practices at European level, join working groups and alliances beyond our borders.
ANAP xxx
ELA (European Logistics Association): we are a founding member and director of this federation of 22 national associations across Europe, whose objectives include promoting the profession of logistics and supply chain management, reinforcing professional skills, promoting innovation and exchanging best practices.
The 2 think tanks specializing in decarbonization,IDDRI (Institut du Développement Durable et des Relations Internationales) and The Shift Project, challenge our members' decarbonization plans and help them go even further.
Anap (Agence Nationale de la Performance Sanitaire et Médico-sociale): Anap aims to support the transition of hospital and medico-social logistics into a supply chain, and to promote the use of technological solutions to make it more efficient.
MOVIN'ON: participating in a European ecosystem dedicated to the development of sustainable mobility
ODASCE (Office de Développement par l'Automatisation et la Simplification du Commerce Extérieur): Making customs and its data a competitive advantage for supply chains (blurring the boundaries between customs and the supply chain, establishing a dialogue between the key players in international trade, expanding our networks and increasing their skills).
ADEME(French Environment and Energy Management Agency) : We are resolutely committed to the fight against global warming and the degradation of resources.
As part of ADEME's "Transition(s) 2050" prospective scenarios, in association with France Supply Chain, the aim is to profoundly rethink logistics and supply chains, based on the concepts of "slow logistics" and "circular supply chain".
