The objective: make sure we have the right product at the right price and the right quality;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>transform our FLOW value chain. The objective: offer the right quantity at the right time and in the right place. <strong>Our ambition: produce what we sell, not sell what we produce! <\/strong>Be able to accelerate production of what is selling well&#8230; Or slow down production of what is not selling. That\u2019s what we call improving our ELASTICITY.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Cela exige de ne plus passer 100% des commandes en entr\u00e9e de saison. On peut ainsi attendre les r\u00e9sultats de ventes pour ajuster nos achats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>C\u2019est extr\u00eamement difficile \u00e0 mettre en oeuvre. Cela suppose en effet que tous les acteurs de la cha\u00eene changent ensemble leur fa\u00e7on de travailler et adoptent les m\u00eames r\u00e8gles, de Roubaix et Paris, jusque dans nos bureaux d\u2019achats en Asie. Nous allons donc proc\u00e9der progressivement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;Our ambition: <\/p><p><strong>produce what we sell, not sell what we produce!<\/strong>&#8220;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>The objective for the Spring Summer 2021 collection: scope for 2 million products<\/strong>, which means buying 3 to 4% less at the start of the season.<\/strong> This may seem low, but we\u2019re starting from an inventory of 100%. This 3-4% can generate extra sales (if we can buy more best sellers) and significantly stop losses (by removing bad sellers, avoiding over stocking, discount sales, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To achieve this, we must activate several levers at the same time. The most important:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 &#8211; Reduce the number of material references so we can stock certain permanent references without risk and at a lower cost,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 &#8211; Reduce the number of our suppliers, by selecting those that have broad expertise so they can switch from one model to another,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3 &#8211; Reserve some short- and mid-term production capacity to be able to manage our elasticity,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4 &#8211; Reduce transport lead times with suppliers that are nearer to us.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key people for this initiative will be the <strong>capacity planners<\/strong> in our purchasing offices who are working hand-in-hand with the <strong>sales planners <\/strong>in Roubaix. <strong>And beyond that, it is the entire flow value chain that is moving forward to rise to the challenge of ELASTICITY.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No, elasticity does not represent the dream of an eternal school break \ud83d\ude09 It\u2019s a key challenge in the \u201cflow\u201d value chain.
