The KEDGE Business School ISLI program specialized in Global

The KEDGE Business School ISLI program specialized in Global Supply Chain Management hosts for 25th
year in sequence Supply Chain leaders from all around the world. It is a moment during the year where
professionals within the field can come together to discuss, exchange, and share amongst themselves and
the future supply chain players, their experiences and their vision.
There are numerous factors that impact the supply chains and appear to challenge more and more their
ability to adapt. These factors include: the environmental constrains, the models of consumption, the
emerging technologies and the consequences of the current economic models.
Therefore, the solutions of today will no longer work for the problems of tomorrow, and without a doubt
there will be a need to combine adaptability with durability. That is why the ISLI forum wishes to bring
together the best supply chain specialists to discuss the following themes:
- The durable supply chain: The Risks of Tomorrow
- Network and Partnerships: Creating value in the supply chain
- Sourcing Strategies: The new trends
- Insure Supply Chain Durability: Critical Success Factors to Control
- New technologies and evolutions in the Supply Chain
These themes will first be presented and then open for discussion in a round-table style format. The
discussion and a summary of the proposed solutions will be grouped together in a White Paper so that each
participant can conserve some of the elements of the discussion around the main question that we are
proposing this year: How can we plan together the supply chain of tomorrow?

“ Internet of Systems Transform Paradoxes to Paradigms”
The broad spectrum of disruption anticipated by the increasing diffusion of connectivity is likely to reshape
the “nature of the firm” through its influence on transaction cost economics. It may challenge the
conventional wisdom prevalent in supply chain strategy, design and management. The networked physical
world may connect known unknowns and unknown unknowns. Hence, it could expose cryptic relationships,
create new correlations, induce non-obvious analyses and trigger socio-economic as well as geo-political
disequilibrium in logistics, finance, manufacturing, cyber-security in a variety of verticals, including
transportation, retail, energy and healthcare.
The connected society may find the status quo of the “silo” modus operandi strenuously inadequate to
improve operations, visibility, agility, efficiency and profitability. Therefore, it must be dissolved by
deliberate design, albeit gradually, to evolve, embrace, adapt and adopt global platforms for planning the
future, together. Sometimes the period of change is an age of hope, sometimes it is an age of despair. The
Fall of the Roman Empire occurred in a prolonged age of despair. Steam, Democracy, IoT and the internet
of systems (IoS) belongs to an age of hope.

10:45 – 12:15 a.m : Sustainable Supply Chain
Supply chains are critical links that connect an organization’s inputs
to its outputs. Traditional challenges have included lowering costs,
ensuring just-in-time delivery, and shrinking transportation times to
allow better reaction to business challenges. However, the increasing
environmental costs of these networks and growing consumer
pressure for eco-friendly products has led many organizations to look
at supply chain sustainability as a new measure.
Companies can meet their business objectives through Supply Chain
Sustainability. For example, in terms of Risk Management, they can
become partners with their suppliers to ensure minimum standards in management practices, such as
minimum hiring age, contracts with workers, health and safety conditions. Moreover, some might achieve
operational efficiency by choosing to ship products via ocean freight rather than via air cargo when
practicable.
Mapping the Supply Chain, mapping the risk within it, and the increasing need for reliable and robust data
from suppliers will prove to be critical steps to follow in the way of Supply Chain Sustainability integration.

10:45 – 12:15 : Insure your supply chain durability: Critical success factors to control
In the actual context of globalization and outsourcing activities, supply
chains are increasing in complexity. These new extended spread chains
increase quality problems, risks, and disruptions probabilities, which impact
the customer service level. How to fulfill customer’s expectations, predict
their future needs, and adapt your supply chain accordingly? What are the
main points to focus on in order to improve supply chain risk management?

10:45 – 12:15 : Sourcing Strategies
Offshoring has long been a trend among companies searching for
cheaper labor costs and better profit margins. In recent years certain
companies began repatriating their manufacturing because they
identified certain benefits that gave them a competitive edge. What are
the benefits of reshoring, nearshoring, and offshoring? What are the
difficulties? How can a company find an appropriate balance?

14:00 – 15:30 : How to manage supply chain relationships to increase leverage?
There are many relationships an organization has to build when
developing a business, such as: relationships with their
customers, their suppliers and the players involved in the sector.
Recently, some companies have started to realize the importance
of understanding how an accurate management of these
interactions can be used as the key to develop a sustainable
competitive advantage and therefore leverage.

14:00 – 15:30 p.m : New Technologies: Big Data, 3D Printers, Drones
How does the Supply Chain manager deal with material,
information and money flows? In order to reach the
maximum performance businesses should reduce their
cash to cash cycle time. This is possible by speeding up
the production and deliveries delay, being more
adaptive, and insuring the best quality standards to meet
and satisfy new demands.
3D printing reduces the lead-time from the idea to the
production cycle and gives us the maximum agility to
reach our target. Think global – make local.
Drones help us in the production and delivery process reducing significantly labor cost and solving
problems of accessibility. In production drones can help us during the production or in the warehouse.
Big data, what is this? Smart data is a key asset to implement real time supply chain and optimize the
supply network.
How new technologies are transforming tomorrow’s supply chain by increasing speed and flexibility? What
is the place for new technologies in the future scenarios?
