Why did ASLOG become France Supply Chain by Aslog?

We are an association under the law of 1901 and as such we are neutral, independent and non-profit. Since our creation in 1972, our primary mission remains unchanged: "to develop and promote the logistics function (today largely extended to the Supply Chain) in the economy, and in a general way to favour the improvement and the diffusion of this technique".

Name change for FRANCE SUPPLY CHAIN by Aslog

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:

Raising awareness

the strategic and vital aspect of the Supply Chain: the management committees of companies and public authorities

Help and support

schools to advance supply chain training and support researchers by bringing companies and research together

Develop

implementation through Labs and facilitate the transformation of companies of all sizes and all sectors

Around 5 convictions:

#client

Putting the customer experience (listening, empathy, use) at the heart of operations

#Resilience

Be more resilient, knowing how to anticipate risks and manage crises

#collaboration

To be a vector of value creation for the entire chain (stakeholders and external parties)

#talents

Better recruiting, improving attractiveness and new skills in the profession

#impactpositive

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.

Professionals committed to a vision

"I believe that sustainable supply chains will change the world

Yann de Feraudy, President of the association and Executive Vice President Operations & IT of the Rocher Group

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.

The Supply Chain as a vital lever for transformation

Today's world presents us with great challenges: human, operational, security and environmental. The Covid-19 pandemic has only reinforced their evidence. During this difficult period, the men and women of the French Supply Chain have been put to the test more than ever.

Our working groups were particularly solicited and allowed us to make Supply Chain adifferentiation factor and a competitive advantage. We managed to mobilize 70 companies during the July and August 2020 workshops in order to conceive another vision of the Supply Chain.

New tools and works have been created to help our members. And our Supply Chain Audit Training, intended for top management, is more relevant than ever.

Dear friends,
I hope that you have managed to spend a wonderful holiday season with your friends chers !
For 2021, I wish you success in business, happiness in family and friendships, and of course good health.
We have become aware of our vulnerability 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 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 make progress in our businesses.

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 WE CHANGE THE WORLD?

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.
