LOGISTIC STRATEGY

Accueil » Services » Logistic Strategy

Context

In today’s highly dynamic, competitive, and constantly evolving economic environment, companies’ success depends on their ability to effectively orchestrate and continually optimize their supply chain.

An efficient Supply Chain must not only control the flow of goods, but also offer an optimal cost structure and irreproachable quality of service.

It must also be able to anticipate and effectively manage crisis and emergency situations, which can arise at any time.

A logistic strategy perfectly aligned with the company’s strategy, and based on an optimized, high-performance network, is therefore a key success factor.

Defining and regularly reviewing your logistic and supply chain strategy enables you to design an ideal logistics network, offering the highest level of service at optimum cost, while taking risks into account and anticipating market trends.

A carefully designed logistic and supply chain strategy, combined with a Business Continuity Plan (BCP), strengthens a company’s resilience by ensuring the continuity of essential logistics operations, whatever the circumstances.

WHAT MAKES FOR A SOLID, EFFECTIVE LOGISTICS STRATEGY?

Alignment with the company’s strategic objectives: logistic strategy is directly linked to the company’s vision and mission, makes a direct contribution to achieving the company’s strategic objectives. This translates into specific measures, such as reducing production costs, improving delivery times, optimizing inventories, and increasing customer satisfaction.

Optimizing the logistic network: your logistics network is made up of several warehouses. Defining the number, location, and role of each of your warehouses is an essential step in the success of your Supply Chain Strategy. When the entire logistics network is optimized, from suppliers to product distribution, the company has full control over its flows, with the aim of striking a balance between quality, speed, flexibility and costs.

Risk management and business continuity: logistic and supply chain strategy integrates robust mechanisms to anticipate, manage and mitigate risks, and thus guarantee business continuity. A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is in place, identifying crisis scenarios, assessing their impact on the supply chain, and defining mitigation measures to be taken before, during and after a crisis. The Supply Chain BCP strengthens the company’s resilience, improves its responsiveness, and ensures continuity of operations, thus preserving customer satisfaction and the company’s reputation.

Adaptability and responsiveness: logistic and supply chain strategy enables quick adaptation to market trends and fluctuating demand. To reduce excessive storage costs while avoiding stock-outs, the logistics network adjusts production and distribution capacity, and stock levels. The logistic strategy provides the company with the flexibility and responsiveness needed to adapt to changes and fluctuations, ensuring optimal operational performance.

Sustainability and environmental awareness: the logistic network optimizes routes, minimizes distances travelled, and significantly reduces fuel consumption. Optimal inventory management, which limits overproduction and overstocking, contributes to sustainability by reducing waste. The use of low-emission vehicles and carbon-neutral warehouses reinforce this approach. At the same time, the implementation of practices aimed at reducing over-packaging plays an active part in the fight against the spread of waste.

BENEFITS OF IMPLEMENTING A SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAIN

COST REDUCTION

An effective network design study reduces costs of storage, transport, inventory management and distribution.

According to a Supply Chain Digest study, deploying the right logistic strategy reduces logistic costs by up to 25%, with a direct impact on your profitability.

Operational efficiency

Research by the World Trade Organization (WTO) shows that optimizing logistic networks can reduce waiting times by 15%.

A logistic strategy based on an adapted network reduces waiting times, optimizes the flow of goods, and thus increases the accessibility of products to consumers.

Business continuity

According to a PwC study, 69% of companies believe that implementing a Business Continuity Plan is crucial to their resilience and ability to cope with risks.

Incorporating a BCP into your supply chain strategy strengthens your resilience, anticipates, manages and mitigates risks, improves responsiveness and guarantees business continuity in emergency situations.

Customer satisfaction

A logistic strategy focused on the quality, reliability and transparency of its operations can increase customer loyalty.

According to Capgemini, 83% of customers consider on-time delivery to be a crucial element of their shopping experience.

McKinsey also reveals that 70% of customers believe that transparent tracking of their parcels and proactive communication about any delays are also decisive factors in their satisfaction.

Supporting growth

A solid, flexible logistic network enables us to meet the challenges of geographical expansion without difficulty, by effectively dealing with adjustments linked to distance, modes of transport and distribution.

Also, a well-designed logistic network can absorb volume growth, by maximizing storage capacities, improving warehouse management, and optimizing transport routes, all while avoiding delays, stock-outs, and customer unsatisfaction.

Protect the planet

According to the Global Carbon Project, transport generates 24% of the world’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), fuel consumption linked to the transport of goods can be reduced by 10 to 25% through optimized networks.

An efficient logistics strategy is a powerful means of reducing the environmental footprint.
