Who are we? > Our approach

 

Decision Value’s pragmatic approach will support you in conducting your projects, to ensure that the right issues have been taken into account and that the best solutions are implemented at each level of decision.

 

To do so, we have developed a set of methodological tools that speeds up the diagnosis phases and secures the implementation phases:

  • Reference processes mapping with the associated good practices
  • Tools to analyze flows (Replenishment, Sales, PO ;..) and inventories (Raw Material, Work in Process, Finished Product) in order to identify categories for differentiated management 
  • Standard indicators
  • Toolbox for simple and effective project management
  • Animation tools for effective meetings
  • Good practices for change management

How to capitalize on SCM expertise to implement CSR strategy

In the previous Point of View, we highlighted the historical key stages leading to the emergence of CSR.

In the early 1980’s, the Supply Chain Management (SCM) concept arose to allow a better transversal integration of the company and valorization of  its resources to serve customer satisfaction and profitability, with fundamental principles a CSR approach can only approve.

However, one could object SCM focuses only on economics, while CSR integrates 3 axes: economy, social and the environment. Is this really the case? Although SCM seems to consider the interests of only 2 stakeholders (the shareholders for the profitability and its customers for the service), we ought not to under estimate the indirect social and environmental gains it creates. For example, the pacification of relationships within silos of the company, as well as with its suppliers and customers, or chasing down waste to limit scraps and material losses, without talking about transportation optimization decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.

Thus, Supply Chain Management, while being focused on the economic stake, directly or indirectly contributes to most of the CSR axes.

 

Therefore, it’s completely logical today to think about how to take advantage of SCM experience to facilitate the integration of CSR practices into the company?
