Home Expertise Supply Chain Management Supply Chain Management Defining your Supply Chain strategy means above all making the customer the center of the project: understanding their current needs and anticipating their future expectations to offer and deliver them customized, reliable and competitive services. Flavien Lamarque President | ESTP Mikaël Pichavant Senior Partner (Paris) | ENSTA Christophe Bressange Managing Partner Operations | EMLyon “Our mission? Adapt our customers’ Supply Chain processes and organizations to help them meet the challenges of their own markets.” Supply Chain is at the heart of industrial and distribution companies challenges in terms of development and transformation. Market volatility, increased competition and reduced time cycles are no longer the only factors requiring Supply Chain robustness and flexibility. Indeed, new concepts such as extended enterprise, multi-channel, or the emergence of digital technologies also contribute to this need for adaptation. Beyond product offerings, manufacturers are now forced to evolve and develop innovative and efficient services. This evolution encourages them to rethink their operational models and therefore their Supply Chain. 50 dedicated experts 120 assignments per year 70% recurring customers Supply Chain as a competitive advantage and profitability lever Few companies within Europe reap the full benefits of their Supply Chain. However, a recent study in the United States shows that the most advanced companies in the implementation of “Supply Chain best practices” are among the most profitable of their sector. An optimized Supply Chain has an impact on both company profitability (costs reduction, out of stock limitation) and its balance sheet (working capital reduction through stock optimization), but also allows to attract and retain new customers.
