🌟 𝑬𝑳 𝑴𝑶𝑹𝑫𝑱𝑬𝑵𝑬 : The 100% Algerian Spread Shaking Up Nutella! 🇩🇿 A few years ago, Algeria decided to limit the importation of certain products, prioritizing local goods. Many of us smiled when President Tebboune used mayonnaise as an example, stating: "Why import chocolate when you just need oil and eggs to make it?" What seemed anecdotal sparked a true revolution in the Algerian food industry. Today, it's El Mordjene, the spread with the irresistible taste of Kinder Bueno, that is gaining ground on Nutella. 🥇 This spread, entirely made in Algeria, is the result of Algerian innovation and expertise. It embodies national pride, proving that we can compete with the best. El Mordjene continues to conquer markets with its delicious taste, creamy texture, and above all, its authenticity. It is proof that Algeria can not only meet its own needs but also create superior quality products, inspired by the best in the world. 📈 Price Evolution: Initially priced at around €3.25, El Mordjene has seen its price rise due to its growing popularity and demand. Today, a 700g jar of El Mordjane is sold for approximately €13.90📊 El Mordjene is a testament to the power of local innovation and the potential for Algerian products to shine on the global stage.

It's sometimes difficult to wrap our heads around this concept and as leaders, an accurate forecast means more than just a great number. It means we're closer to our business and, more importantly, closer to our customers and consumers. It's inherent to understand this and drive this shared KPI as one unit. #business #forecast

While supply chain delays have largely subsided at a macro level, there continue to be interruptions that are causing unexpected delays. Geopolitical issues in the Middle East are causing ships to avoid the Suez Canal and instead travel around the Horn of Africa, extremely high temperatures in Southeast Asia are causing electrical shortages, and a predicted intense hurricane season are just a few of the issues that may cause supply chain interruptions in the months—potentially years—ahead. Supply chain planning, combining with few different techniques mentioned below can provide complete and comprehensive outcomes. - Protect your business with flexible access to capital. After all, having cash on hand is often the difference between meeting demand and going out of stock. - By developing multiple supplier relationships, it’s easier to develop a more flexible supply chain strategy and adjust to a constantly changing market. - Partnering with one or more freight forwarders can help you manage and track the shipment of your goods. - Hedge your bets by seeking out alternative ports to meet your fulfillment needs and stay on schedule—regardless of unforeseen events or a sudden spike in customer orders. - Without fail, the best way to improve forecasting is by using automation to calculate these metrics on your behalf. - It is increasingly important for today’s supply chain leaders to adopt a holistic perspective with AI and analytics in the years to come.

One of the tools for TPS (Toyota Production System) is maintaining JIT Inventory Now the challenge for purchasers is how do you optimize Procurement Processes for Just-in-Time (JIT) Inventory Management? Well Just-in-Time (JIT) inventory management aims to minimize inventory holding costs by receiving goods only when needed for production or sales. To optimize procurement processes for JIT, organizations must focus on precision, supplier relationships, and real-time data management. 1. Strong Supplier Relationships: Build close relationships with reliable suppliers to ensure timely deliveries. Clear communication of production schedules, demand forecasts, and lead times is essential for ensuring suppliers can meet your JIT needs without delays. 2. Accurate Demand Forecasting: Implement robust forecasting techniques to accurately predict demand. Procurement teams must work closely with sales and production teams to access up-to-date data and avoid over-ordering or stockouts. 3. Streamline Procurement Processes: Automate procurement tasks, such as purchase orders and approvals, to reduce lead times and manual errors. E-procurement systems can integrate with inventory management to trigger automatic orders when stock reaches critical levels. 4. Supplier Proximity and Flexibility: Source from local or geographically closer suppliers to reduce lead times. Consider multi-sourcing from flexible suppliers who can adjust delivery volumes based on your changing needs. 5. Real-time Data and Technology: Use technology like ERP systems and inventory management software to maintain real-time visibility into stock levels and coordinate with suppliers for on-time deliveries. By focusing on these strategies, procurement can ensure that materials arrive just in time, reducing excess inventory and improving operational efficiency. #JustInTime #ProcurementOptimization #SupplierCollaboration #DemandForecasting #InventoryManagement

How to Address Supply Chain Challenges: Portfolio Analysis Imagine you're working at a company facing issues with a difficult supplier. This supplier is becoming increasingly troublesome, and now management is considering terminating the relationship. As a supply chain professional, your role is not just to act but to act strategically. One of the most effective tools at your disposal is Portfolio Analysis. You need to assess two critical factors: Strategic Importance (Profit Impact) of the items provided by this supplier. Difficulty (Supply Risk) in sourcing from this or alternative suppliers. For example, as seen in the framework of Portfolio Analysis, there are different categories to classify the materials: Bottleneck Materials: High supply risk and critical to your operations. Direct/Core Competency Materials: Essential to your product and high-profit impact. Commodity Materials: Low supply risk and lower strategic importance. Leverageable Materials: Low supply risk but can offer significant cost-saving opportunities. So, before you make any decision, you should just map out where this supplier fits on this grid. You might find alternatives more easily if they provide leverageable or commodity materials. If they're a core or bottleneck supplier, it's time to explore negotiations or risk mitigation strategies before making drastic moves. By conducting a thorough Portfolio Analysis, you ensure that your decisions are informed and aligned with the long-term goals of the company.

DRIVING SUPPLY CHAIN EXCELLENCE THROUGH CROSS-FUNCTIONAL COLLABORATION IN A GLOBAL COMPANY 🚀 The Strategy: A Unified Approach (Part 1 of 2) Efficiency and agility in the #supply_chain are crucial for maintaining profitability, meeting customer demands, and staying ahead of the competition. Some years ago, a global company embarked on a transformative journey to optimize its supply chain in each manufacturing site and key countries. I was part of this ambitious project Leading LATAM region, implemented through #cross_functional #collaboration across the commercial, finance, production departments, and strategic suppliers, with the Global supply chain team leading the charge. ➡ The Challenge The company faced several supply chain global inefficiencies: ❌ High operational costs due to disjointed processes between departments. ❌ Inconsistent production planning, leading to stockouts and overstocks. ❌ Delays in supplier deliveries, which affected production schedules and customer satisfaction. ❌ Lack of real-time visibility into inventory and demand forecasting, making it difficult to align production with market needs. To resolve these issues, the global supply chain team took the lead in initiating a company-wide improvement project, focusing on enhanced integration, collaboration, and operational efficiency. 🎯 Providing tactics, actions and commitments 📊 Commercial Team: Aligning Supply Chain with Market Demands The commercial team played a pivotal role in providing accurate, real-time insights into customer demands and market trends. By sharing detailed sales forecasts, the commercial team: ▪Improved demand forecasting ▪Enabled agility in the production process ▪Strategic customer alignment 💹 Finance Department: Optimizing Costs and Resources The finance department was instrumental in supporting the supply chain optimization by: ▪Cost-benefit analysis ▪Financial controls ▪Inventory cost reduction 🎬 Production Team: Synchronizing Production with Supply Chain The production team was a critical partner, helping to integrate the new supply chain processes into daily operations. Their contributions included: ▪Adjusting production schedules ▪Standardize production planning ▪Lean manufacturing principles 🚚 Strategic Suppliers: Ensuring Reliable Material Supply The collaboration with strategic suppliers was vital to the success of the supply chain improvements. By engaging suppliers early in the process, the company was able to: ▪Strengthen supplier relationships ▪Streamline procurement processes ▪Supplier performance KPIs The commitment and connection of each department was crucial to achieving the project's objective. In the 2nd part I will share the results achieved. I can be a strategic ally in your organization to implement initiatives of great added value to your company with local, regional and global scopes, let's talk.
