BECAUSE WE ARE CONVINCED THAT LOGISTICS & SUPPLY
CHAIN CAN AND WILL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

The Logistics Function can no longer be the purely operational function that only reacts as fast as possible to what the other functions in the supply chain have decided.

The Logistics Function must be capable of having a serious impact on the company results, based on its own professional knowledge and expertise, and bring its own input to the table for a successful, financially sound and workable customer experience. If not, it simply doesn’t have a seat at the table.

Because the most efficient logistic solution is so much more than the cheapest transport or warehouse operation.

The Supply Chain Function must be transversal to be performant.
The best company results can only be obtained if purchase & procurement, production, logistics, sales, … work TOGETHER. In this configuration the Supply Chain Function is the horizontal challenger and enabler to the often still vertical company organization.

The Supply Chain function must therefore

  • strive for and succeed in really understanding and clarifying the business impact of all steps in the supply chain
  • be the link between the colleagues of sales, production, purchase, logistics, finance, it, hr, …
  • bring everyone to the table with shared and validated business intelligence for better mutual understanding and supported decisions

Because the Supply Chain function is all about making the seemingly unpredictable more predictable and the seemingly unmanageable manageable.

NEW KNOWLEDGE, COMPETENCES & BEHAVIOUR WILL LEAD TO A BETTER SUPPLY CHAIN & LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT, WITH A SERIOUS IMPACT ON THE COMPANY RESULTS…
